Incident Reporting
This is a confidential reporting system. The main reason for investigating incidents is to try and identify the root cause/s that contributed to the incident or near miss occurring, so you have a greater opportunity to prevent the same type of incident from potentially occurring again.
Determining the facts of the incident will also assist in identifying control measures that can be put in place to prevent further re-occurrences. It is equally important to communicate the outcome of any incident investigation to the rest of your workers, as that way they are all made aware of the potential risks and of changes the business has made to a process or procedure, including the reasons behind those changes.
You can provide pictures or other proofs, or just be anecdotal. For serious incidents you should call 000.
Please note that mandatory reporting is required by all workplace safety regulators in each state and territory throughout Australia.
