Incident Register and PPE in the Workshop
An incident register records every safety event — a near-miss, a minor injury, a machine incident. Tracking PPE (personal protective equipment) ensures every workstation has the protection it requires. Together, they form the safety memory of the workshop.
Why log incidents?
- An untracked incident happens again.
- Near-misses are valuable signals before the real accident.
- Traceability supports root-cause analysis and prevention.
- It documents how seriously the institution takes safety.
What does an incident report contain?
Date, location or machine, people involved, description, severity, probable cause and corrective actions. In a school workshop, the report can be filed simply, even by an apprentice under supervision, to build a reporting culture free of fear.
PPE: the right equipment for the right workstation
Glasses, hearing protection, safety footwear, suitable gloves: every activity requires its own PPE. Linking the required PPE to each machine or workstation recalls the rule at the right moment and makes checks easier.
Register and PPE in MECAFLOW
MECAFLOW lets you report an incident from a mobile device and keep a dated register, as well as link the required PPE to workstations. Combined with machine authorizations, the workshop builds a coherent safety record, within the Swiss data protection framework.
Frequently asked questions
Why keep an incident register in a workshop?
Because an untracked incident happens again. The register also captures near-misses, valuable signals that make it possible to act before a real accident occurs.
What should an incident report contain?
The date, the location or machine, the people involved, a description, the severity, the probable cause and the corrective actions decided.
How do you track PPE in a workshop?
By linking the required protective equipment (glasses, hearing protection, footwear, gloves) to each machine or workstation, to recall the rule at the right moment.
Does MECAFLOW manage incidents and PPE?
Yes. MECAFLOW lets you report an incident from a mobile device, keep a dated register and link the required PPE to workstations, within the Swiss data protection framework.
