New Guide for recording SIF (serious incidents and fatalities) events other than occupational injuries and illnesses
1. Scope
guide for defining and classifying SIF events (other than injuries and illnesses that are already defined in E2920). Incidents include serious fires, property damage, unintended environmental releases, business interruption and other events with major business impact.Keywords
SIF; fire; environmental release; business interruption; catastrophe; incident; fatality; safety; riskRationale
consistency is needed for comparison of SIF events across countries and between companies. Many companies have criteria for defining seriousness of events, but they are not consistent. Prevention efforts can be most effective when there is a common understanding of these incidents. This standard would complement E2920 which focuses on injury and illness events, but does not address other types of incidents.
