  • This guidance addresses whether or not injuries and diseases are occupational in nature, and how they should be recorded for ICMM benchmarking purposes.

  • The guidance follows these general principles:

    • Occupational injuries and diseases that occur in on-site locations are included.

    • Occupational injuries and diseases that occur off-site while the worker is performing a work-related activity that is in scope as recordable are included.

    • All employees and contractors are included.

    • Occupational injuries or diseases are recordable for all workers for whom exposure hours are recorded (or can be estimated).

    • ‘Off the job’ injuries or diseases are not included.

    • The principle of ‘recordable outcome’ is applied in all cases to determine whether an incident that results in an injury or fatality should be recordable.
