Accident/Incident
Reporting
All accidents, incidents and instances of known or suspected
occupational ill health, must be reported to the School Safety
Manager/or your Line Manager as soon as possible. This will enable the
School
to take any action necessary to prevent a recurrence.
No accident should be considered too
trivial to report.
All accidents and incidents must be reported to the Director of Health
and Safety as soon as possible after the event, and in any case within
seven days, by using the University's electronic reporting system at:
http://www.safety.ed.ac.uk/IncidentReporting/IncidentDetails.cfm
Accidents / incidents of a serious nature must be notified immediately
by telephone (514255) to the Health and Safety Department and will be
subject to a more formal investigation by a member of staff from the
Health and Safety Department.
The above actions enable the School to fulfil the legal requirements
outlined in the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous
Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).
