Industrial incident management built for action

Last updated: October 2025

Parakeet Risk unifies incident intake, investigation, corrective actions, and OSHA recordkeeping into one EHS Control Center purpose‑built for plants, labs, and field operations. Use automation to capture every event (injuries, near misses, environmental spills, contractor incidents), generate audit‑ready trails, and route approvals across your existing tools.

Explore the EHS Control Center (see Parakeet EHS Safety for details)
Automate corrective actions and CAPA evidence (see Features and Pharmaceutical Compliance [CAPA/QMS] information)
Orchestrate work permits and approvals via your chat/project stack, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Trello

Metrics that matter: TRIR, DART, and PSIF/SIF

The following reference table standardizes terminology and calculations used across Parakeet dashboards and reports.

Metric	What it tracks	Formula / Definition	Typical data sources
TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate)	OSHA‑recordable injuries/illnesses normalized by exposure	(Total OSHA‑recordable cases × 200,000) ÷ Total hours worked	Incident records, timekeeping/HRIS hours
DART Rate (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred)	Severity proxy for recordables that caused lost/restricted work	(DART cases × 200,000) ÷ Total hours worked	Incident records with case classification, HRIS hours
SIF (Serious Injury or Fatality)	Incidents that resulted in life‑altering injuries or fatalities	Case outcome classification in investigation	Investigation reports, medical determinations
PSIF (Potential SIF)	Near misses or lower‑harm events that could reasonably have resulted in a SIF under different circumstances	Event potential rating (documented in intake and investigation)	Near‑miss reports, hazard IDs, safety observations

Notes

200,000 represents 100 employees working 40 hours/week for 50 weeks.
Parakeet captures TRIR/DART automatically when you classify a case and enter hours; PSIF/SIF tags can be added during triage or investigation for learning teams and prevention analytics.

OSHA recordkeeping: 300, 301, and 300A—how‑to in Parakeet

This section provides a practical, step‑by‑step approach to maintain OSHA logs while reducing manual effort. Always validate applicability, counting rules, and privacy cases with your safety/legal team.

1) Establish sites and calendars

Create each establishment (location) in Parakeet; set its reporting calendar and legal entity owner.
Connect hours worked via Workday, ADP, or BambooHR to keep denominator hours current.

2) Intake every event once

Use mobile or kiosk intake to capture date, location, employee or contractor status, injury type, body part, treatment, and days away/restriction.
Flag privacy‑concern cases when applicable; Parakeet masks those on logs while retaining an audit trail.

3) Classify the case for automatic metrics

Select OSHA‑recordable vs. first aid; if recordable, choose case outcome (death, days away, restricted/transfer, other recordable).
Enter days‑away and restricted/transfer days; Parakeet updates DART automatically.

4) Maintain the OSHA 301 equivalent

Parakeet’s incident record holds 301‑equivalent data fields you complete during intake and investigation.

5) Generate OSHA 300 and annual 300A summary

Filter by establishment and year; Parakeet produces the 300 log view and a 300A summary view for leadership signature and posting.
Schedule reminders with Google Calendar to meet the February 1–April 30 posting window for the prior calendar year.

6) Keep everything audit‑ready

Lock final 300/300A views with role‑based access; preserve edits in the immutable history.
Store supporting evidence (photos, medical notes, interviews) via Google Docs linkage for a complete file.

PSIF/SIF prevention with learning teams

Treat PSIFs as leading indicators: prioritize corrective actions for hazards with credible SIF potential, not only events with high realized harm.
Involve cross‑functional learning teams to examine context (work conditions, controls, supervision, contractor interfaces) and to identify weak signals.
Use trend views (by task, permit type, line, shift, contractor) to target engineering or administrative controls.

Control of Work (Permit‑to‑Work, PTW)

A Control of Work system governs high‑risk tasks through permits, isolations, and authorizations. Typical permits include Hot Work, Confined Space Entry, Line Break, Electrical, Working at Height, and Excavation.

How Parakeet supports PTW orchestration

Permit intake and routing: trigger Trello cards for each permit request with assignees and due dates.
Approvals and alerts: push authorization requests and status updates into Slack or Microsoft Teams; critical alerts can reach field teams via WhatsApp.
Evidence and closure: attach LOTO photos, gas tests, and isolations; on closure, auto‑launch a post‑job review if any PSIF triggers were observed.

Automated CAPA and investigation workflows

Trigger CAPA from any incident, audit finding, or safety observation. Parakeet creates tasks, owners, due dates, and verification steps.
Maintain objective evidence: link procedures, photos, and test results; track effectiveness checks. See Features and Pharma (QMS/CAPA) information.
Two‑way sync with project tools so remediation stays visible in operations (such as with Trello).

Architecture and integrations for EHS data flow

Parakeet centralizes safety data and automates cross‑system updates so your logs, metrics, and CAPA stay synchronized.

HRIS and hours: ADP, BambooHR, Workday
Messaging and on‑the‑go alerts: Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp
Docs and scheduling: Google Docs, Google Calendar
ERP/Finance context: NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage

Implementation checklist

Define establishments and data ownership (EHS vs. Ops). Configure roles and privacy case handling.
Connect HRIS hours; import historical incidents for baseline TRIR/DART.
Tailor forms for PSIF triggers and permit types. Align classification with your policy.
Map CAPA categories to QMS language; set verification and effectiveness gates.
Pilot in a single site for one quarter; validate metrics; then scale.

FAQ

Q1. What is the difference between a recordable and a first‑aid case? A recordable case meets OSHA recordkeeping criteria (treatment beyond first aid, days away, restricted work/transfer, loss of consciousness, or a significant diagnosis). First‑aid cases do not meet those criteria and are not included in TRIR/DART.

Q2. How does Parakeet help with OSHA 300/301/300A? Parakeet maintains 301‑equivalent incident details, compiles site‑specific 300 logs, and produces 300A summaries with signature workflow and posting reminders.

Q3. How are TRIR and DART calculated in the platform? When you classify an incident and maintain hours worked, Parakeet calculates TRIR/DART automatically using standard 200,000‑hour normalization.

Q4. What is a PSIF and why track it? A PSIF is a Potential Serious Injury or Fatality. Tracking PSIFs surfaces weak signals and high‑energy hazards so you can prioritize preventive controls before harm occurs.

Q5. Can Parakeet manage Control of Work permits? Yes. Use configurable forms for permit requests, route approvals in Slack/Teams, and synchronize tasks in Trello. Attach isolations, tests, and closure evidence for audit trails.

Q6. Can CAPA be automated across EHS and QMS? Yes. Parakeet creates CAPA tasks from incidents or audits, tracks verification/effectiveness, and links evidence; it aligns with QMS processes highlighted on the Pharma page.

How are TRIR and DART calculated?

TRIR = (recordables × 200,000) ÷ hours; DART = (DART cases × 200,000) ÷ hours.

What is a PSIF?

A Potential Serious Injury or Fatality event with credible potential for life‑altering harm under slightly different circumstances.

Can Parakeet generate OSHA 300/300A?
