OHS - AS1885 Tables

1885 is the Australian Standard for reporting injury and disease.
This is an important section to consider before you begin adding incidents and looking at statistics (in OHS), as both these areas will be impacted upon by the options here.

You may choose to tick the Use AS1885 Tables option, which means that the categories and options within the Australian Standard 1885 will be applied.
These relate specifically to Incidents and reporting LTI (Lost Time Injury) statistics:

  1. With Use AS1885 Tables ticked, this activates the AS1885 Incident Classification table.
  2. From the four options given, choose the Lost Time Injury option. If you want to use this to generate statistics correctly, ensure you select option 01 Lost time injury/disease.

    Risk Level Matrix
    This relates to the Risk Level chart found in the Hazard window.
    If preferred, you may amend the risk level of any likelihood/consequence combination. For example, you might feel that if a hazard with a likelihood of 'Almost Certain' has a consequence of 'Insignificant', this should give a risk level of 'Moderate' rather than 'High'.

    The changes you have made will automatically be applied within the corresponding areas in Ready Pay. However, to ensure all areas in Employee Self-Service Kiosk are updated you will first need to click this button, then execute an IISReset process in Employee Self-Service Kiosk (if you are an on premise client)- if you are unsure how to do this, contact Ready Pay Support for instructions.
