Timely Reporting of Injuries, Accidents or Near-misses

Timely reporting and thorough investigation of incidents or accidents are critical to preventing repeat occurrences. An accident is an unplanned event that causes personal injury or property damage. A “near miss” is an event that could have caused personal injury, danger to health, and/or property damage or the environment.

In the event of an accident, incident or exposure, the injured or exposed person's supervisor should complete and submit the "Injury / Accident / Near Miss Report”. Please click here for more information on accident reporting and investigation.

The new policy was discussed and endorsed in the 3rd University Laboratory Safety Committee Meeting held on 7 January 2021 and in the 33rd Safety and health Committee Meeting held on 10 February 2021.

In the case of an emergency, notify other people in the area and call the 24-hour Security Hotline at 3442 8888 or call 999.
