In the workplace it is critical to report all near misses, hazards and incidents as soon as they occur. No matter how big or small they are.
Example of a near miss:
- A box has fallen whilst container devanning and narrowly missed hitting you.
- The truck transporting equipment to the site almost reversed into you.
Example of a hazard:
- A spill on the ground.
- Product which looks like it might fall over.
- Uneven surfaces in which you could trip on.
Example of an incident:
- You accidentally got a small cut on your finger when handling some product.
- You grabbed a box the wrong way and it bent your finger back.
- You slipped on a wet area, but nothing was damaged and you are not injured.
How to report these:
- Tell site management immediately.
- Tell MoreStaff management immediately.
- Every site will have a designated health & safety officer, talk to that person.
Always:
- If the incident requires immediate medical attention, freeze the scene, find the first aid officer or call 111.
