Commentary

Incidents should be reported and investigated as soon as practical after the event to prevent recurrences.

This procedure outlines steps required for the reporting and investigation of an incident and the responsibilities of all personnel.

The procedure can be amended to suit your business needs. Before implementing, review the procedure with employees and make amendments as appropriate.

For critical incidents, follow the Critical Incident Procedure.

Relevant stakeholders, including employees and contractors (if appropriate) should be consulted about the introduction of the procedure and how it will be used in the business.
