Safety management system and method
First Claim
1. A system for remotely collecting safety information and for forecasting one or more future safety incidences based on the collected safety information, comprising:
- at least one portable device operable to record safety incidents and corresponding safety parameters that affect safety; and
a processor operatively coupled to said portable device, said processor being operable to determine parameter coefficients for the safety parameters based a relationship between the safety incidents and the safety parameters from said portable device, said processor being operable to forecast the future safety incidences based on the parameter coefficients determined by the processor.

Abstract
A safety management system includes a processor and memory in which a safety database is maintained. The safety management system receives safety data from one or more portable devices and/or computers, and the system stores this safety data in the database. When a safety incident occurs, such as an accident, the type of incident is recorded and additional information about the incident is recorded in the database. This information then is used to generate a model of the rate of safety incidents. This model is then used to forecast future safety incidence rates for planning and budgeting purposes.

11. A method of forecasting future safety rates based on historical safety information, comprising:
-
receiving historical safety incidences and corresponding safety parameters with a processor, wherein the safety incidences reflects a rate at which safety problems occur and the safety parameters reflect factors that affect safety;
determining parameter coefficients for each of the safety parameters with the processor, wherein each of the safety parameters has a respective one of the parameter coefficients that in combination affect the historical safety incidences; and
predicting future safety incidences based on the parameter coefficients with the processor after said determining. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
