REPORTING INCIDENTS AND MAKING CLAIMS

All accidents, injuries, illnesses and near misses are to be reported on an "Occupational Injury Illness or Incident Report Form" (pdf). These forms are also available from the Departmental Safety Officer and our Office. Guidance notes are provided on the form.

All incident reports must be submitted to OHS & Injury Management within 24 hours of the incident. If full details of the incident, injury, investigation and corrective actions are not available within this timeframe, the essential details of the incident or injury as they are known should be submitted initially. The report should then be re-submitted with all required information, including details of supervisor investigation and corrective actions, as soon as possible (within one week).

• Submitting an Insurance Claim to Audit, Risk Management & Assurance - general insurance matters are not handled by OHSIM.

Note: all references to the Risk Management Office in these documents should now be read as references to OHS & Injury Management (OHSIM).
