Toolbox Safety Talk: Incident Reporting 2023

Incident Reporting

Every workplace wants to keep accidents to a minimum, but sometimes they happen! It is essential, no matter how minor the incident is, that it is reported and recorded.

If you are injured at work, you must report the incident to your workplace as soon as possible even if you think it is nothing at the time.

First and foremost, we don't want the same thing happening to someone else and we may also need to change how a task is being completed to keep everyone safe. Max People has a process to follow when incidents happen, as will the company you are working with. It is important for all parties that this/or their procedure is followed.
