Accident & Incident Reporting

Reporting an incident

Report an accident or incident/near miss using the Online MySafety Reporting Form.

The on-line form takes 3 to 5 minutes to complete. You will need a few pieces of information before you start (you will be prompted by a series of questions as you go along).

1. Type of incident; Accident/Incident, Ill Health, Service Disruption or Near miss.
2. If someone was injured; their name, contact number and where they work.
3. Information about what happened and where it happened.
4. If immediate action was taken, what was it (e.g. first aid administered).
