Question 2: Was there a high-energy incident?

An incident occurred if BOTH: (a) the energy was released (out of control or changed state), AND (b) the worker was in contact with it OR within 6 feet of it (proximity).

Yes — energy released AND worker in contact/proximity No — observation only, no release/contact

Question 3: Was a serious injury sustained?

Per EEI SIF Criteria: fatality, amputation, head trauma with TBI or LOC >30min, organ trauma, fractures requiring surgery, herniated disc with neuro deficit, 2nd-degree (10%+) or 3rd-degree burns, permanent vision loss, high-pressure injection, heat stroke, joint dislocation (hip/elbow/knee), electrical contact, vascular trauma needing surgery.

Yes — meets EEI SIF criteria No

Question 4: Was a direct control present?

Direct controls are specifically targeted to the energy source and effective even if a worker errs (e.g. LOTO, machine guarding, hard physical barriers, fall protection, cover-up). NOT direct controls: training, warning signs, rules, experience, standard PPE.

Yes — direct control was present and functioning No — direct control absent, bypassed, or failed
