Incident Reporting Guide

Every workplace must be prepared to handle unexpected incidents, and the first step is proper reporting.

If an incident occurs—whether it’s an accident, a near miss, or property damage—ensure the area is safe, then report it immediately to your supervisor.

Next, document the details: what happened, where, when, and who was involved. Include any contributing factors and, if possible, attach photos or witness statements.

Submit the completed report using your company’s designated system or form without delay. Once submitted, management will review the incident, investigate the root cause, and take corrective action to prevent recurrence.

Remember, timely and accurate reporting is essential for safety, compliance, and continuous improvement. By following the procedure, you help protect yourself, your colleagues, and the entire workplace.
