Managing sickness absence
The sickness absence recording tool (SART) is designed to help small and medium sized enterprises record, monitor and analyse absence data as a means to better manage sickness absence and return to work. The tool is currently undergoing a major evaluation exercise (the Sickness Absence Management (SAM) Project) led by Glasgow University's Healthy Working Lives Group. Whilst this work is going on, HSE has also decided to make the current evaluation version of the SART prototype freely available to those stakeholders who wish to utilise it but are not participating in the SAM Project. The final version of SART should be available early next year.
Before downloading and using this software, please read the disclaimer below, which sets out the terms and conditions of its use.
The prototype database tool is provided free for the purposes of evaluating and developing improved approaches and resources for effective sickness management. It has been developed by IOM on behalf of HSE.
Every effort has been made to ensure that content and related information is accurate and up to date, and all systems provided will operate accurately and without error, but no legal responsibility is accepted for any errors, omissions or misleading statements, or damage to any individuals, items or systems resulting from its use.
Support for this evaluation version of the tool cannot be provided by the IOM or HSE.
Users are encouraged to send their comments on the tool to the HSE at sicknessabsence@hse.gsi.gov.uk.
