Hi,
I'm translating a report on the electricity sector in Spain, and there's a table at the end on health and safety in the workplace - two of the headings in the table are "Índice de gravedad con baremo" and "Índice de gravedad sin baremo" - talking about levels of fatal and non-fatal accidents in the workplace, and I have no more context - any ideas? I know a baremo is some sort of scale, but not sure how it fits in here....Thanks!

Standard Health and Safety terminology, and I think it will work very well in the context. A couple of electrical examples:
Benchmarking and regulation: international electricity experience ...The UK water and electricity regulators apply COLS to the operating costs of ..... The employee health and safety benchmark in brief is a ratio index of the ...

Comparative scale
Yes, baremo is a kind of yardstick, more or less official according to the context, against which to measure things. In the area of car insurance for example, they have baremos for how long a certain repair should take, how much paint will be used etc, and won't shell out any more for repair claims. These are actually known as times and materials sheets in the business in the UK, but that doesn't work for you here.
The context of HSE is however not that different in concept. The baremo will show levels so that injuries can classifed in a standardized way. (I'm sure you've seen insurance policies telling you how much you'll get if you lose a little finger as opposed to a little toe). So I think that you were thinking along the right lines!

I would assume they are measuring the degree of seriousness as is common in HSE, this ahs to be done for legal purposes

The correct term will depend on the type report and what it is dealing with, If is is comparing, for example, the indicendeces of say IBERDROLA in Spain with Scottish Power in Scotland then it will be a comparative analysis. If it is comparing to international/ accpetable standards and goals then it will be a benchmark. Grading for me is a simple scale. In oil copmpanies, for example, you are are required to record every single incident, no matter how small. You are also required to grade these by seriousness, can't remember exactly how but they 1-5, similar to the quick poll you see on PROZ, or minor to major. No benchmark, no comparative study made at this stage.
