ACCIDENT REPORTING POLICY

 

INTRODUCTION

There must be a process put in place to report accidents, incidents or near misses for immediate action and to help track causes. The company needs to identify what needs to be reported, to whom it is to be reported, and how to report it, then put this process into a written procedure.

For example:
Any accident, incident, or near miss, no matter how slight the injury or damage, must be reported to the department supervisor immediately for appropriate action.
The supervisor is responsible for taking appropriate follow-up action, including getting medical attention for the injured, completing an investigation report and recommending or implementing appropriate corrective actions.

The primary purpose of the accident investigation is to identify the cause(s) of the accident, incident or near miss and take action to prevent a similar occurrence in the future. In some instances, an employee’s failure to follow recognized safety procedures requires disciplinary action to protect co-workers.
