A minor carelessness, and you might find yourself at the receiving end of the legal battle. Thus, paying a hefty fine, serving a sentence, or facing the probability of your business getting shut down.  

Hence, in today’s post, we are going to focus on the importance of having a safety incident management system and some tips to report workplace accident in a manner that they don’t hamper your business’s productivity.  

• Communicate

Most of the incident reporting goes unnoticed because there is not effective communication among different departments. A workplace would be healthy and safe when everyone knows what they are vulnerable to, how they should report, and to whom. When your clients will know about the incident from a third party, instead of you, this will break their trust and jeopardize your relationship with them. 

• Prepare yourself 

You can never be always aware of a disaster that is waiting to happen. This is why you need to prepare yourself with a strong plan. Note down all the possibilities and create a plan for immediate action. Delegate experienced professionals who can be reached at the incident. Make sure to define a clear channel for reporting. Preparation is the key to strengthen your safety and enhance your business’s performance.  

• Create an HSE team 

To ensure that the incident is timely reported and promptly acted upon, make it a point to have a dedicated HSE team. Train them on how to perform their duties and make training a periodic task. They should be quick in their response to an incident of every gravity. Also, make sure that the employees in the organization know whom to reach out in case of an incident.  

• Encourage feedback 

Encourage the employees in your organization to give feedback on what they consider a safety or health hazard. Once the incident is reported, don’t just stop at fixing the problem. Talk to those who have reported the incident on how did they find the resolution of the problem. Were they satisfied with how it was tackled? Would they like to highlight something that they found could have worked in a better manner? Feedbacks will help you identify the areas of improvement so that you can plan better incident safety management strategies going forward.  

Implement the aforementioned and you will see the effective results immediately. Having mentioned these, let’s move on to some tips that you can incorporate in your workplace incident reporting:
