UPLOADS injury prevention study
Take part in a national study on injury prevention in the outdoor education and recreation sector.
Posted on 17.04.2014
The UPLOADS (Understanding and Preventing Led Outdoor Accidents Data System) will allow you and your organisation to collect detailed information surrounding injury and near miss incidents in a way that will support you in taking measures to prevent them. The software developers are looking for participants in a 12 month national study to use the software to collect information about near misses, incidents and participation rates.
Following a trial in 2013, two versions of the UPLOADS software have now been developed:
The UPLOADS Software Tool allows organisations to:
- Systematically track their injury and near miss incident and participation data;
- Analyse their own incidents using a systems analysis framework;
- Generate automatic reports on the data they collect; and
- Contribute de-identified data (i.e. names removed) to the industry database.
The UPLOADS Lite version is designed for organisations who only want to contribute data to the national database. An online survey tool allows organisations to contribute completely anonymous incident reports and participation data. Organisations are also able to save the data they enter for their own records.
If you would like to participate in the trial, or would like more information, please register your contact details here:
