Disclosure focus

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how it tracks and reports work-related ill health among its workers. In practice, the focus is on whether the organisation has a way of identifying cases that are linked to work, how it records them, and what it can say about the scale and pattern of those cases over the reporting period.

The practical question is coverage: does the reporting capture the whole organisation, or only selected sites, business units, or worker groups? A useful explanation should make clear the scope of the data, any gaps or exclusions, and whether the approach is consistent across operations rather than limited to a few flagship locations.

* This LRA educational guidance supports disclosure preparation. For the exact requirements, always refer to the official GRI source.

How to prepare
  1. Set the reporting boundary first: decide which people are included in the disclosure, and make sure your scope matches the workforce group you intend to report on.
  2. Define the measures you will use for each required item: deaths linked to work-related ill health, recorded cases of work-related ill health, the main illness categories, and the hazards connected to those cases.
  3. Gather the supporting records and source documents: incident logs, occupational health data, risk assessments, investigation notes, and any other evidence that shows how the figures and descriptions were built.
  4. Prepare the disclosure content in a clear structure: provide the numbers where needed, describe the main illness types and hazards, explain how the hazards were identified, and state the actions taken or in progress to remove or reduce them using the control approach applied by the organisation.
  5. Check whether any people were left out of the reporting set; if so, record who was excluded and why, including the type of worker affected.
  6. Add a short methods note so readers can understand the compilation approach, including any standards used, the calculation method, and any assumptions or judgement calls; then compare the draft with the official source to confirm nothing material has been missed.

Request the work-related ill health data from EHS

Translate the disclosure into an internal business question — then adapt it to your organisation's own language.

What work-related ill health cases, related fatalities, likely causes, and control actions should we report for the period, and who is outside scope?

Use your organisation’s own terms first, then map them to the reporting fields. For example, if you say ‘occupational health case’, ‘incident review’, ‘site hazard’, or ‘contractor population’ internally, keep that language in the request and only translate it at the end for reporting. Check the source material before sign-off.

Weak request

Please provide the GRI 403-10 data for work-related ill health, including fatalities, recordable cases, hazards, and control measures.

Why it fails: It uses framework language only, so the owner has to translate the ask before they can act. It also does not specify the period, the worker groups, the source system, or what supporting notes are needed, which makes the return harder to compile and review.
Better request

Please pull the occupational health case data and related safety notes for [period] from [system] for [business unit / site]. Include any fatalities linked to work-related illness, the count of recordable cases, the main illness types, the hazards involved, how those hazards were identified, which hazards appear to have contributed to cases, the controls already in place or being rolled out, any excluded worker groups, and a short note on method, assumptions, and data limits.

Assurance readiness
For each claim, check the evidence
ClaimRiskEvidence to check
I prepared the coverage figure using the same worker population and reporting boundary applied in our internal reporting pack, and I checked that the population counted here matches the period and entities we said we were using.The assurer may test whether the population included in the figure is complete, whether any entities or worker groups were left out without explanation, and whether the boundary used is consistent with the rest of the report.Reporting boundary note; workforce listing used for the period; consolidation or inclusion rules; reconciliation between the disclosed figure and internal headcount records; sign-off note confirming the scope applied.
I compiled the fatality count from incident records and case files, then matched each case back to supporting documentation before the number was finalised.The assurer may probe whether every fatality included is genuinely work-related, whether any case was double-counted or missed, and whether the source records support the final tally.Incident logs; investigation reports; occupational health case files; death or coroner-related records where relevant; data extraction sheet; review trail showing case-by-case checking.
I built the count of reportable illness cases from the underlying health and incident records, and I checked the list against the source system before publication.The assurer may ask whether the cases counted meet the organisation’s own reporting rules, whether the source data were complete, and whether the final number was reconciled to the underlying records.Health surveillance records; occupational health referrals; incident management system extracts; case register; reconciliation worksheet; approval evidence from the data owner.
I summarised the main illness patterns from the cases we had on file, grouping similar diagnoses so the disclosure reflects the dominant themes rather than isolated entries.The assurer may test whether the grouping method is sensible, whether the categories are supported by the case evidence, and whether the summary omits material patterns.Case list with diagnosis fields; grouping or coding method; analysis workbook; review notes showing how themes were selected; management review of the summary wording.
I identified the hazards by reviewing our risk assessments, incident trends, and occupational health information, then I used those sources to decide which hazards were relevant for the figure.The assurer may probe whether the hazard set was derived from a documented process, whether the inputs were current and complete, and whether the final list reflects the actual risk profile.Risk assessments; hazard registers; trend analysis; occupational health reports; meeting minutes or review notes showing how hazards were selected; version history of the final list.
I traced the hazards back to the evidence we used to identify them, including assessment records and case information, so we can show how each hazard was picked up.The assurer may ask whether the identification method is transparent, whether the evidence supports the hazard classification, and whether any relevant source was overlooked.Assessment templates; source documents used in the review; hazard mapping or linkage table; reviewer comments; sign-off from the responsible manager.

Excluded workers2

Synthetic example only. We report on our own staff and other people working under our control, with one work-related ill-health death and 14 recordable ill-health cases in the year. The main conditions were respiratory irritation, dermatitis and noise-related hearing loss; we identified the relevant exposure risks through workplace inspections, task-based risk reviews, incident and health surveillance data, and the cases were linked mainly to dust, cleaning chemicals and high noise areas.

This example shows how to present the scope of people covered, the ill-health outcomes, the main conditions seen, the exposure risks behind them, how those risks were identified, and the controls in place. It also notes that agency packers were left out because the host contractor held the relevant records, and explains the methods and assumptions used to compile the figures.

Excluded workers1

Synthetic example only. We cover our employees and site-based contractors, with no ill-health deaths and 9 recordable ill-health cases during the period. The main conditions were musculoskeletal strain, skin irritation and stress-related illness; the linked risks were identified from manual-handling reviews, ventilation checks, occupational health referrals and supervisor reports, and the actions underway include removing the hazard where possible, substituting lower-risk materials, engineering changes, revised work methods, training and PPE as the last line of defence.

This example illustrates a second plausible reporter with a different mix of people and outcomes. It also shows how to state the excluded group, why they were left out, and the compilation basis, including the use of site records, health referrals and a conservative counting approach for repeat episodes.

From a number to a disclosure

What separates a figure from a disclosure.

Basic

We recorded 3 cases of work-related ill health.

Better

We recorded 3 cases of work-related ill health among employees and other workers this year, with 2 linked to dust exposure and 1 to repetitive strain.

Best

We recorded 3 cases of work-related ill health across employees and other workers in the year to 31 December 2025, with no fatalities; 2 cases were linked to dust exposure and 1 to repetitive strain, we identified the risks through incident reviews and workplace assessments, no worker groups were left out, and the rise from 1 case last year mainly reflects better reporting after we tightened our health checks and record-keeping.

Evidence in Godrej Properties Limited’s report

What the report shows

Godrej Properties Limited’s Integrated Report 2024-25 provides detailed data on work-related injuries, reporting zero fatalities among employees and one high consequence injury among workers, with specific numeric values on total recordable injuries for workers (p.143, p.263). The company highlights its ISO 45001:2018 certification and ongoing review of health and safety standards and risk control measures (p.96), and mentions a robust Occupational Health and Safety Management System without headline values (p.88). However, the report lacks information on certain narrative elements related to injury details and other safety management aspects, with no evidence found for some disclosure items (no page).

Check your understanding
A manufacturer records one employee death linked to a long-term occupational illness, plus three reportable illness cases among site staff. The draft note also lists the main illness types and the workplace exposures thought to be involved.What should you make sure is captured in the disclosure so the reader can see the scale, the illness types, and the linked workplace risks?
Model answer. Include the count of deaths linked to work-related illness, the count of reportable illness cases, and a plain description of the main illness categories. Also set out the workplace hazards that may lead to illness, and explain how those hazards were identified. If any of those hazards are thought to have caused or contributed to the cases in the period, make that link clear as well.
Why this matters. The disclosure should connect the numbers, the illness patterns, and the workplace risks in one coherent picture.
A logistics business has several possible sources of illness risk, including diesel fumes, repetitive strain, and night work. The health and safety team used incident logs, occupational health referrals, and site assessments to decide which risks to include.How should you explain the way the illness risks were identified without overloading the reader with internal detail?
Model answer. Describe the practical method used to spot the risks, such as the evidence sources and review process, in enough detail for a reader to understand how the list was built. Keep it clear which hazards were judged relevant to illness risk, and avoid implying that every possible workplace issue was included if it was not actually assessed that way.
Why this matters. Explain the basis for the risk list in a way that shows how the judgement was made.
A care provider had no fatalities from work-related illness in the year, but two cases of stress-related illness and one case of dermatitis were recorded. The team is unsure whether to mention the chemical cleaning products because they were only suspected in one case, not confirmed.What is the right approach to linking hazards to illness cases in the period?
Model answer. If a workplace hazard is believed to have caused or added to a case during the reporting period, it should be identified as part of the explanation. If the link is only suspected, say so plainly and avoid presenting it as settled fact. If a hazard did not contribute to any case, do not list it as a cause for that period.
Why this matters. Be precise about whether a hazard is confirmed, suspected, or not linked to the cases reported.
A group report covers employees, agency staff, and contractors at several sites. The draft data only includes direct employees because the other groups were tracked in a different system, and the team has a short note saying so.What should you check before finalising the disclosure if some workers are left out of the figures?
Model answer. Check whether any workers have been left out of the disclosure, and if so, state who they are and why they were excluded. The explanation should make clear the type of worker omitted and the reason the data set does not cover them, so the reader understands the scope of the figures.
Why this matters. If the population is not complete, say who is missing and why the coverage is limited.

Questions this page answers
How do I use the GRI 403-10 page to draft the disclosure from scratch?

Start with the plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step preparation section and the datapoints list. The page also gives draft-output prompts, so you can turn the collected information into a narrative and a content-index line. ↑ section

What data do I need to collect for GRI 403-10 on occupational health and safety?

The page says to prepare worker population, fatal illness count, recordable illness cases, illness types, workplace health hazards, the method used to identify hazards, hazards linked to cases, health risk actions, excluded workers, exclusion details, and compilation notes. Use that list as your collection checklist before drafting. ↑ section

How should I decide the scope for GRI 403-10, including any excluded workers?

The page includes excluded workers and exclusion details as datapoints to prepare, so scope decisions should be documented rather than assumed. Keep the exclusion rationale and any related notes in the compilation notes so the disclosure is clear and reviewable. ↑ section

What should I include in the methodology notes for GRI 403-10?

The page specifically calls for hazard identification method and compilation notes, so the methodology should explain how hazards were identified and how the figures were put together. It is also useful to note any exclusions and how hazards were linked to cases. ↑ section

Who should own the GRI 403-10 data collection and sign-off process?

The page is aimed at sustainability and ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership should sit with the people who can gather the worker and health data and explain the method. The evidence pack and assurance claims suggest a clear owner should also be able to support review and sign-off. ↑ section

What evidence pack should I build for GRI 403-10 assurance readiness?

The page includes an evidence pack with five items for assurance readiness, so you should use that pack to support the figures, the method, and the narrative. Keep it organised so a reviewer can trace the disclosure back to source information quickly. ↑ section

What are the common mistakes to avoid when preparing GRI 403-10?

The page has a section on common reporting gaps and mistakes, so it is designed to help you spot weak points before publication. Use it to check that the scope, exclusions, hazard method, and supporting notes are all complete and consistent. ↑ section

How do I use the synthetic example on the GRI 403-10 page without copying it blindly?

The example is synthetic and illustrative, so treat it as a model for structure and presentation rather than a template for your own numbers. Use it to see how the quantitative table and narrative fit together, then replace it with your own internally consistent data. ↑ section

What can I use from the GRI 403-10 downloads to speed up drafting?

The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format and a printable Library Card in .pdf format. Use the workbook to organise the data and assurance checks, and the PDF as a quick reference while drafting. ↑ section

How do I turn the GRI 403-10 data into a draft report section?

The page’s draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters, and a GRI content-index line. That means you can move from the prepared datapoints to a first draft without starting from a blank page. ↑ section

Can I reuse GRI 403-10 data for ESRS S1 Own Workforce reporting?

The page says ESRS S1 (Own Workforce) is the closest correspondence, so the data may be reusable across both frameworks. It does not say the requirements are identical, so you should still check the ESRS wording separately. ↑ section
