Reporting Accidents And Near Misses.

It is both a legal requirement under Occupational Health and Safety legislation and an insurance requirement to report all workplace injuries and near misses.  Good reporting leads to effective prevention. A procedure is implemented for actions to be followed in the reporting, investigation and recording of hazards, incidents and accidents at Monash.

To report an incident or accident:

• Complete Hazard and Incident Form (pdf 41kb) and return to the Safety Officer.
• Incident Reporting Procedure (pdf 128kb)

Issue Resolution

The resolution of any health and safety issue is encouraged to be carried out in a cooperative manner by following the University's Issue Resolution (pdf 132kb) process.

The Faculty is committed to consultation and co-operation between management and employees and will consult with elected employee health and safety representatives and employees in any workplace change (pdf 52kb) that will affect the health and safety of any of its employees.
