If you’re a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to. It’s based on exactly what the name implies – Warehouse Safety Tips. And since the people in that industry are busy – we know time is money, so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible.
And now that all that is out of the way – let’s get to the Podcast!
Reporting Accidents In The Workplace
What is accident reporting – and more importantly, what’s a correct incident reporting procedure?
Simply put, accident reporting is just what the name implies. Whether it affects property, persons, or both – all accidents need to be reported.
Employers must provide a detailed list of what to do when an accident occurs in the workplace. This list should include what steps to take immediately, who to notify and how to contact emergency personnel.
The correct incident reporting procedure may vary from workplace to workplace, but all staff should always follow these steps.
- Tend to the situation at hand first. If there are injuries – treat them and call for help. If damage has occurred to the property – take the steps needed to ensure it won’t affect staff and make plans on how to fix the situation.
- Get the name(s) of people injured or involved.
- Get the name(s) of any witnesses to the incident(s).
- Get as many details as possible from those involved and witnesses as soon as possible while everything is still fresh in their memory. This information should include everything from injuries or damage sustained to the events before, during, and after the incidents.
- Make sure everyone who needs to be contacted – management, family members, etc. – is immediately alerted.
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.Until then, have a great week, and STAY SAFE!
