PHASE 1: INCIDENT DATA MODEL DISCOVERY
============================================================
Step 1.1 -- Incident Record Structure
- Read incident data structures: incident ID, date/time of occurrence, date/time reported,
- location (facility, building, floor, area, specific location), incident type (injury/illness,
- near miss, property damage, environmental release, security event, vehicle accident),
- severity classification (first aid, recordable, lost time, restricted duty, fatality),
- persons involved (employee, contractor, visitor), witness information, immediate actions
- taken, supervisor notified.
+ Read incident data structures: incident ID, date/time of occurrence, date/time reported, location (facility, building, floor, area, specific location), incident type (injury/illness, near miss, property damage, environmental release, security event, vehicle accident), severity classification (first aid, recordable, lost time, restricted duty, fatality), persons involved (employee, contractor, visitor), witness information, immediate actions taken, supervisor notified.
Step 1.2 -- Injury/Illness Classification
- Examine injury classification fields: body part affected (using BLS coding), nature of
- injury (strain, laceration, fracture, burn, contusion, amputation, illness), source of
- injury (machinery, floor surface, chemical, tool, vehicle), event type (fall, struck by,
- caught in, overexertion, exposure), OSHA recordability determination logic, days away /
- restricted / transfer (DART) tracking, return-to-work status.

Step 1.3 -- Near Miss & Hazard Reporting
- Evaluate near miss capture: near miss report data model (what happened, what could have
- happened, contributing factors), hazard observation reports, good catch recognition
- program integration, anonymous reporting capability, near-miss-to-incident ratio tracking
- (benchmark: 300:1 per Heinrich's triangle, modern target: reporting at least 10:1),
- hazard classification and prioritization.
+ Evaluate near miss capture: near miss report data model (what happened, what could have happened, contributing factors), hazard observation reports, good catch recognition program integration, anonymous reporting capability, near-miss-to-incident ratio tracking (benchmark: 300:1 per Heinrich's triangle, modern target: reporting at least 10:1), hazard classification and prioritization.
Step 1.4 -- Investigation Workflow
- Map the investigation workflow: initial report submission, supervisor review and fact
- gathering, investigation team assignment (by severity level), investigation methods
- (5-Why, fishbone/Ishikawa, fault tree, barrier analysis, SCAT -- Systematic Cause
- Analysis Technique), corrective action assignment, corrective action tracking to closure,
- effectiveness verification, management review.

============================================================
PHASE 2: ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS EVALUATION
============================================================
Step 2.1 -- RCA Methodology Assessment
- Evaluate root cause analysis implementation: RCA methods available in the system (5-Why,
- fishbone diagram, fault tree analysis, taproot, SCAT), depth of analysis (surface cause
- vs. contributing cause vs. root cause vs. systemic cause), causal factor categorization
- (human factors, equipment/design, environmental, management system, organizational),
- structured vs. free-text RCA entry.

Step 2.2 -- Contributing Factor Taxonomy
- Check contributing factor classification: immediate causes (substandard acts, substandard
- conditions per ANSI Z10), basic causes (personal factors -- capability, knowledge,
- motivation; job factors -- leadership, engineering, maintenance, procurement, tools),
- management system failures (policy, training, observation, emergency prep, rules, hazard
- analysis, investigation quality, PPE management, engineering controls, hiring/placement),
- organizational factors (safety culture, resource allocation, management commitment).

Step 2.3 -- Corrective Action Management
- Evaluate corrective action tracking: action categorization by hierarchy of controls
- (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE -- in
- priority order per NIOSH), action assignment (responsible person, due date), action
- status tracking (open, in progress, overdue, completed, verified), effectiveness
- verification method and timing, recurring corrective action detection (same fix applied
- repeatedly indicates root cause not addressed).
+ Evaluate corrective action tracking: action categorization by hierarchy of controls (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE -- in priority order per NIOSH), action assignment (responsible person, due date), action status tracking (open, in progress, overdue, completed, verified), effectiveness verification method and timing, recurring corrective action detection (same fix applied repeatedly indicates root cause not addressed).
Step 2.4 -- Investigation Quality Metrics
- Assess investigation quality: investigation completion rate within target timeframe,
- RCA depth scoring (did the analysis reach systemic causes or stop at immediate cause),
- corrective action closure rate, corrective action overdue percentage, management system
- findings percentage (high-quality investigations find management system gaps, not just
- blame individuals), investigation training requirements for investigators.

PHASE 3: OSHA RECORDKEEPING COMPLIANCE
============================================================
Step 3.1 -- OSHA 300 Log Management
- Evaluate OSHA 300 log compliance: automatic recordability determination logic (applying
- 29 CFR 1904 recording criteria), case classification (death, days away from work,
- restricted work/transfer, other recordable), days away / restricted / transfer counting,
- establishment-level log maintenance, annual posting requirements (300A summary, February
- 1 - April 30), five-year retention requirement, electronic submission compliance (for
- establishments with 250+ employees or high-hazard industries with 20-249).

Step 3.2 -- Recordability Decision Logic
- Check recordability determination: work-relatedness assessment (geographic, temporal,
- and causal connection), general recording criteria (medical treatment beyond first aid,
- loss of consciousness, restriction of work, days away, significant injury/illness),
- first aid definition compliance (per 29 CFR 1904.7(a) -- specific list of first aid
- treatments), special recording criteria (needlesticks, hearing loss, tuberculosis,
- musculoskeletal disorders), exemptions (voluntary blood donation, common cold/flu,
- mental illness unless triggered by workplace event).

Step 3.3 -- Regulatory Reporting
- Evaluate incident reporting to OSHA: fatality reporting within 8 hours, inpatient
- hospitalization/amputation/eye loss reporting within 24 hours, reporting method tracking
- (online, phone), state plan vs. federal OSHA jurisdiction handling, multi-establishment
- reporting for companies operating across states.
+ Evaluate incident reporting to OSHA: fatality reporting within 8 hours, inpatient hospitalization/amputation/eye loss reporting within 24 hours, reporting method tracking (online, phone), state plan vs. federal OSHA jurisdiction handling, multi-establishment reporting for companies operating across states.
Step 3.4 -- Data Integrity & Audit Readiness

- populated per OSHA requirements), consistent classification (same incident type classified
- the same way across facilities), amendment/correction audit trail, 300 log reconciliation
- with HR/medical records, mock audit/inspection readiness assessment, prior OSHA citation
- history tracking and abatement verification.

Check for rate calculation accuracy, industry benchmarking (BLS SOII data), and trend visualization.
Step 4.2 -- Leading Indicator Tracking
- Assess leading indicator capture: safety observations conducted (target: 2-5 per
- supervisor per week), hazard reports submitted and resolved, near miss reports (volume
- and trending), safety training completion rates, inspection/audit completion rates,
- corrective action on-time closure rate, management safety walks/engagements, JSA/JHA
- completion for new tasks, PPE compliance audit results, pre-task planning completion.

Step 4.3 -- Predictive Analytics
- Evaluate predictive capabilities: incident prediction models (correlating leading
- indicators with future incident rates), seasonal risk patterns (heat illness in summer,
- slip/falls in winter, fatigue during overtime periods), fatigue risk management (hours
- worked, shift patterns, time-of-day risk curves), new employee risk period tracking
- (first 90 days -- highest incident risk period), department/area risk scoring.

- submission (shorter = better culture), near miss reporting rate (higher = better culture),
- anonymous vs. attributed reporting ratio, employee engagement survey safety questions,
- retaliation protection (whistleblower/anti-retaliation compliance per OSHA Section 11(c)),
- just culture implementation (distinguishing human error, at-risk behavior, and reckless
- behavior in response to incidents).

- leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, improvement), ANSI Z10
- requirements coverage, OSHA VPP (Voluntary Protection Programs) criteria alignment,
- management of change (MOC) process for operational changes that affect safety, contractor
- safety management.

- NEXT STEPS:
-
- - "Run `/workplace-risk-scoring` to evaluate hazard assessment methodology feeding incident prevention."
- - "Run `/safety-compliance` to perform a comprehensive regulatory gap analysis."
- - "Run `/safety-training` to assess whether training programs address root causes found in incidents."
-
DO NOT:
-
- Evaluate incident investigation quality without considering the hierarchy of controls in corrective actions.
- Accept recordability determinations without verifying against OSHA's specific first aid definition.
- Treat near miss under-reporting as a data issue -- it is a culture issue requiring different solutions.
- Recommend additional lagging indicators when leading indicators are what drive prevention.
- Ignore the difference between incident frequency and incident severity in trend analysis.
+ - Write analysis to disk unless the user requests it.
