# WHS Incident Report Extractor & Compliance Checker Actor (`armourylabs/whs-incident-report-extractor-compliance-checker`) Actor

Classifies structured construction incident data against Australian model WHS Act notifiable-incident triggers and outputs a register entry with regulator notification flags. Deterministic keyword matching - a compliance aid for human review, not legal advice. One entry per run.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## WHS Incident Compliance Checker

A pay-per-run Apify Actor that takes structured incident data, classifies it against Australian model WHS Act notifiable incident triggers, and outputs a ready-to-use compliance register entry with specific regulator notification obligations.

---

### What it does

1. **Classifies the incident** into one or more categories:
   - Death
   - Serious injury or illness
   - Dangerous occurrence
   - High-risk construction work involvement
   - Minor / first aid

2. **Detects notifiable incidents** using keyword matching against s35–s38 WHS Act (model law) definitions — including fatalities, amputations, fractures, loss of consciousness, scaffold collapse, explosion, fire, trench collapse, and more.

3. **Outputs compliance obligations** specific to the incident type:
   - Immediate phone notification requirement with regulator contact and phone number
   - Scene preservation duty (s39 WHS Act)
   - 48-hour written notification deadline
   - SWMS review triggers for high-risk construction work
   - Internal investigation and register-entry reminders
   - Workers compensation insurer notification

4. **Identifies the correct regulator** for all Australian jurisdictions: NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT, ACT, and Federal (Comcare).

5. **Produces a complete register entry** with a unique incident ID, timestamp, all incident metadata, triggered keywords, and a full obligations list — ready to paste into your incident register or forward to a WHS consultant.

---

### Who buys this

- **Construction site managers** who need instant clarity on whether an incident must be phoned to the regulator before they leave the scene
- **WHS consultants** who process multiple client incidents and need consistent, defensible register entries
- **Safety officers** building or maintaining site incident registers

---

### What it does NOT do

- Does not read PDFs, images, or any file format (input is structured JSON text fields)
- Does not connect to any regulator database or submit notifications on your behalf
- Does not constitute legal advice — see disclaimer in every output

---

### Local demo command

```bash
python3 main.py '{
  "incident_description": "Worker fell from scaffold on Level 2 during erection.",
  "injury_description": "Fractured wrist and loss of consciousness. Transported to hospital.",
  "jurisdiction": "NSW",
  "incident_date": "2024-06-15",
  "incident_time": "10:30",
  "site_name": "Greenfield Apartments",
  "site_address": "12 Builder St, Sydney NSW 2000",
  "reported_by": "Jane Smith",
  "injured_person_name": "John Doe",
  "injured_person_role": "Scaffolder",
  "immediate_actions_taken": "Ambulance called. Area cordoned. Project manager notified.",
  "witnesses": ["Mike Brown", "Sarah Lee"]
}'
````

Example output (abbreviated):

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "summary": "⚠️  NOTIFIABLE INCIDENT DETECTED — Phone your regulator IMMEDIATELY. | Classification: SERIOUS INJURY OR ILLNESS, HIGH-RISK CONSTRUCTION WORK INVOLVED | Severity score: 8/10 | Obligations identified: 7",
  "register_entry": {
    "register_entry_id": "INC-20240615103045",
    "notifiable_incident": true,
    "classification": ["SERIOUS INJURY OR ILLNESS", "HIGH-RISK CONSTRUCTION WORK INVOLVED"],
    "regulator_contact": {
      "name": "SafeWork NSW",
      "phone": "13 10 50",
      "url": "https://www.safework.nsw.gov.au/"
    },
    ...
  }
}
```
