This study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of the current occupational accident reporting and notification system. An expert questionnaire designed with the concept of Delphi and a structural questionnaire were used for the safety and health experts and professionals, respectively. Results show a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the safety and health professional and experts regarding the need for simplifying Part A of the occupational accident monthly reporting form. However, both groups agreed with the simplification of the item on hiring child workers. A significant difference (p < 0.05) was found between the groups with respect to the reporting frequency of occupational accidents. About 46.6% of the safety and health professionals favored monthly, but only 29.0% of the experts’ preference were quarterly report. A significant difference (p < 0.05) existed on the number of employees of an enterprise required to conduct the monthly accident report. 32.3% of the experts favored the number to be around 10 while 30.5% of the safety and health professionals agreed on the number of 30. For the duration of record keeping, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the groups. 51.7% of the safety and health professionals preferred 5 years, but 35.5% of the experts considered the proper period to be 10 years, 77.1% of the safety and health professionals and 90.3% of the experts considered the most convenient means was the use of web-based reporting system. This study suggests the government should simplify the contents of the current forms. Due to the low compliance percentage of the regulated enterprises, a sampling and estimating method should be adopted by the government to grasp the national trend of occupational accident rates in the future. |
