Similarly, a full one quarter of respondents&rsquo; employees do not have access to technology, making real-time reporting nearly impossible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Data collected at the National Safety Council were unsurprising, but the normalcy of these statistics is shocking:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>22% of organizations still use manual processes to manage EHS activities<\/li>\n<li>Though 80% of respondents believe more safety hazards would be reported if they had access to a mobile reporting app, only 8% of organizations use mobile applications for reporting purposes<\/li>\n<li>When an incident occurs, the most common reporting process is to email or call a supervisor (33%), which is unsurprising given almost half of the survey&rsquo;s respondents spend all day, every day dealing with EHS-related matters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite this archaic manual processes the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) reported the overall rate of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses requiring days away from work &ndash; as well as the number of median days needed to recover &ndash; decreased in 2015, according to data released earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2015, 104.0 injury and illness cases per 10,000 full-time workers resulted in days away from work &ndash; a 2.9 percent decrease from the 107.1 rate recorded in 2014. For private industry, the rate was 93.9 &ndash; a drop of nearly 4 percent from the 2014 rate of 97.8.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The number of median days away from work, considered a &ldquo;key measure of severity of injuries and illnesses&rdquo; by BLS, fell to eight in 2015 from nine in 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two occupations that experienced lower incidence rates in 2015 were heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers and nursing assistants. The rates among drivers fell nearly 16 percent to 298.7 cases per 10,000 full-time workers from 355.4 cases in 2014. Nursing assistants&rsquo; rates declined almost 7.3 percent to 327.8 in 2015 from 353.6 the previous year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To read more, go to: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2hvmsOD\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2hvmsOD<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About Topper Industrial<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more than twenty years, Topper Industrial, (<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topperindustrial.com\/\">www.TopperIndustrial.com<\/a>) based just outside of Milwaukee, WI, has been a leader in the material handling equipment industry.
