Classification of events With the purpose of defining a standard that will allow us to compare our reactive management with similar companies or economic sectors, we have adopted the event classification criteria established in the OSHA standard 1904.0 Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Regulations, and 1904.4 Recording Criteria. These standards classify events as follows:
Non-recordable accident •
First aid
Recordable accidents • •
•
Fatality Accidents with lost days (sick leave) Medical treatment
All personal injuries, no matter how minor, are reported to the ARL for the corresponding treatment. We communicate this information through reports and documents published in the Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
