Abstract: (2294 Views)
Background and Objectives: Many preventable occupational accidents occur annually in the world. Almost 2228 work accidents occurred in Kerman province from 2012 to 2016. Reports of occupational accidents are recorded in the Work Inspection Software (WIS) by inspectors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of WIS of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour and Social Welfare in Iran based on Kerman data and present appropriate strategies to address its problems and improve it.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, in order to investigate the quality of WIS, we referred to the Department of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare in Kerman province. Then different parts of software and the information registered in this software were examined. Moreover, the number of active workplaces and inspections done in Kerman province during 2016-2018 were studied.
Results: WIS is has various sections for recording information on manufactories, workers, and work accidents. However, this software is not web-based and duplicate information is recorded in it. The information of injured workers is not searchable. Completing many of the fields in the software is not mandatory and as a result they will be left blank. Reporting from the software is in Portable Document Format (PDF), so it is not possible to analyze this information.
Conclusion: WIS is a useful software. However, if its bugs are fixed and it is designed under the web, it can play an important role in making better management decisions and will be useful to plan safety training plus identifying and reducing workplace hazards.
Key words: Inspection, Accidents, Occupations, Software, Labor office
Funding: This study did not have any funds.
