Accident and Incident Reporting

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 by SAFETY
The following points should be covered in discussing the importance of reporting and investigating accidents, incidents or near misses:
  • Always report accidents and near misses to employer
  • Any injuries needing first aid or medical attention should be reported to employer
  • What do employees do in the case of an emergency
  • Where is the nearest hospital? what are the cross streets?
  • Who are the first aid qualified persons on the job site
  • Anyone witnessing an accident should immediately report it to a supervisor
  • All accidents should have an investigation conducted to determine the cause

Always report any unsafe condition or unsafe acts, no matter how minor, to your Employer. Its far better to prevent accidents than it is to report, investigate,deal with the workers compensation carrier, and have the loss of a valuable employee.
