REPORTING RISKS AND NEAR MISSES An incident is an unplanned event which can have the potential to cause injury or illness and or damage to equipment, buildings, plant or the natural environment.

The relevant incident forms can be found on the intranet under OH&S, there are two separate forms one for reporting risks and one for reporting incidents.
WORKPLACE EMERGENCY A workplace emergency is something that happens unplanned whether it be a injury, fire, bomb threat or any other incident that causes disruption to work. In case of a fire call 000, evacuate the building via the closet fire exit if safe to do so walk don’t run, listen to any instructions given by the fire warden ,close all doors on way out but do not lock. In the case of not be able to leave the building remain calm, stay low and try to signal from a window if possible. Don’t enter the building until advised safe to do so by fire man or your fire warden. A incident report must be filled out. In the case of a bomb threat remain calm, if the person has called try to take note of the background noises, the tone of voice, time and date of call, try and keep them on the phone for as long as possible. You need to advise your manager and OH&S officer and evacuate building like you would in case of a fire. An incident report will need to be filled out.
