Reporting accidents at work is a legal requirement it is the employers and employees responsibilities under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
It is important to report accidents, incidents or Near Misses. By you reporting accidents, incidents and near misses you can make your working life safer.
In fact, for every accident there would have been at least 30 near misses.
A handy reminder of definitions is available here.
Here are three simple things that you can do:
- If you see something that could cause an accident reporting, let someone know as soon as possible.
- If you see someone nearly have an accident, or you nearly have an accident yourself, report it as soon as possible.
- If you see someone who’s had an accident, check if they have reported it. The chances are they probably haven’t reported it.
It could be that you have forgotten how to report near misses accidents or incidents. It is always good to remind and familiarise yourself with this process by speaking to your manager who will be able to advise you on how to do this always reported to your ORM via an e-mail send them a copy of your accident form.
You don’t want to be that person who tells everyone after an accident that nearly happened to me on a couple of occasions.
