Legal Requirements

Employers are required to maintain records of workplace accidents using either the approved accident book or an in-house reporting form. It is crucial to report incidents and near misses as per company procedures.

Managers, supervisors, and employees should promptly notify their employer of any injuries resulting from accidents, incidents, or near misses through in-house reporting procedures.

Thorough investigations must be conducted for all incidents and accidents, regardless of the extent of property damage or harm to individuals, to facilitate appropriate action and prevent recurrence. It is important to note that such investigations may be legally mandated in certain cases.
