This article follows an earlier one in which four criteria and four bases for the development of an indirect-cost calculation model adapted to the accuracy requirements and time constraints of workplace decision-makers were established. A two-level model for calculating indirect costs using process mapping of the organizational response to a workplace accident is presented. The model is based on data collected in interviews with those employees in charge of occupational health and safety in 10 companies of various sizes in different industry sectors. This model is the first to use process mapping to establish the indirect costs of workplace accidents. The approach allows easy identification of the duration and frequency of actions taken by stakeholders when a workplace accident occurs, facilitates the collection of the information needed to calculate indirect costs and yields a usable, precise result. A simple graphic representation of an organization's accident processes helps the user understand each accident's cost components, allowing the identification and reduction of inefficiencies in the overall process.
By facilitating data collection and shortening the time needed to assess indirect costs of workplace accidents, this indirect cost calculation tool is better suited for workplace use than those currently available.
本文是对早期一篇文章的后续，该文确立了制定间接成本计算模型的四项标准和四项依据，以满足工作场所决策者的准确性要求和时间限制。本文提出了一种使用组织对工作场所事故反应的流程映射来计算间接成本的两级模型。该模型基于对 10 家不同规模、不同行业公司负责职业健康和安全的员工的访谈中收集的数据。该模型是第一个使用流程映射来确定工作场所事故间接成本的模型。该方法便于确定利益相关者在发生工作场所事故时采取行动的持续时间和频率，有助于收集计算间接成本所需的信息，并产生可用且精确的结果。组织事故流程的简单图形表示有助于用户理解每个事故的成本构成，从而识别和减少整个流程中的效率低下问题。
通过促进数据收集和缩短评估工作场所事故间接成本所需的时间，这种间接成本计算工具比目前可用的工具更适合工作场所使用。
