B. Coding Guidelinesnot need to be improper - the driver could be braking appropriately to avoid acollision).34. Where there is no collision and the movement of the vehicle does NOT contribute tothe incident (e.g. a fire in a stationary car or a fall in a smoothly flying plane), themechanism should be coded to the relevant mechanism other than ’Vehicle incident’(code 92). Where there is no collision and the movement of the vehicle DOEScontribute to the incident, the appropriate mechanism code depends on whether themovement was due to external forces (such as rough seas or a pothole in a road) orto the direct actions of the vehicle operator (such as sudden braking). Where there isno collision, the movement of the vehicle DOES contribute to the incident AND thecontributing movement is NOT due to the actions of the vehicle operator (e.g.jamming a finger in a hatch door which slams shut due to rough seas), then themechanism should be coded to the relevant mechanism other than ’Vehicle incident’.Where there is no collision, the movement of the vehicle DOES contribute to theincident AND the contributing movement IS due to the actions of the vehicle operator(e.g. a forklift is driven fast around a curve and tips over), then the mechanism shouldbe coded to ’Vehicle incident’ (code 92). The approach to coding is shown in the flowdiagram on page 13.35. Note that in incidents where there is no collision, the movement of the vehicle doescontribute to the incident and the contributing movement is not due to the actions ofthe vehicle operator, the breakdown agent would usually be the external factor thatcaused the contributing movement (e.g. rough seas or a pothole).Rule 10Where there is no collision and the movement of the vehicledoes NOT contribute to the incident, the mechanism should becoded to the relevant mechanism other than ‘Vehicle incident’(code 92).Where there is no collision, the movement of the vehicle DOEScontribute to the incident AND the contributing movement isNOT due to the actions of the vehicle operator, then themechanism should be coded to the relevant mechanism otherthan ‘Vehicle incident’ (code 92).Where there is no collision, the movement of the vehicle DOEScontribute to the incident AND the contributing movement IS dueto the actions of the vehicle operator, then the mechanismshould be coded to ‘Vehicle incident’ (code 92).Example: Guard on moving train slips on a banana skin and falls over:code to ‘Falls on the same level’ (code 02).Example: Sailor burns hand when hot tea spills because his ship rolls inheavy weather: code to ‘Contact with hot objects’ (code 51)Example: Driver hits head on roof of cabin when truck runs over apothole: code to ‘Hitting stationary objects’ (code 11).Example: Bus conductor is thrown to the floor when the driver brakessuddenly: code to ‘Vehicle incident’ (code 92).12 National Occupational Health and Safety Commission
