Step 4 - Complete Report Form

Now you have to prepare a report on the event, which includes trying to determine what has occurred and identifying ways to minimise the risk of the event happening again.  

Complete a report for both accidents and incidents. In this context:

• Accident: Means an unplanned event that results in harm to people, damage to property or loss to process.
• Incident: Means an unwanted event which, in different circumstances, could have resulted in harm to people, damage to property or loss to a process (also known as a near miss).  
  
  

You can access the Accident Report Form here.
You can access the Incident Report Form here.  

The report must be submitted to your Manager within 24 hours of the event occurring. File an electronic copy in the relevant directory of your computer system.
