Case data should be collected as a matter of course during injury reporting, and can be supplemented by information obtained from the insurer, often presented in a standardised format.
The combined information should include the:
| • | Number of days on modified duties; |
| • | Type of accident or illness, for example a fracture, laceration, sprain; |
| • | Body part affected, for example back or shoulder; |
| • | Work relatedness of the injury or illness, i.e. whether the problem was caused by work or not; |
| • | Relevant department or cost centre. |
