Accident/Incident Reporting

Purpose

Legislative requirements demand documenting accidents in the workplace for legal and insurance purposes.

Reporting incidents which don't involve injury assists the Safety Office in monitoring trends and working with supervisors to make improvements to working conditions and the safety program.

An accident is an undesired event which causes harm to people or damage to property. An incident is an event which under slightly different circumstances could cause injury or damage to property.
