Incident Report Form

Abaapcam Engineering ltd is committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace environment, and
ensuring all our work practices are conducted safely.

All injuries/illnesses and incidents sustained at work must be reported immediately so that appropriate treatment can be
given, the causes investigated, and control measures implemented as soon as possible to prevent a similar accident from
occurring in the future. Near misses that did not cause injury must also be reported.

Occupational Health and Safety legislation in all states require employers to record all injuries sustained at work, in a
Register of Incidents/Accidents.

Instructions

 An Incident Report Form must be completed for all employee and contractor Incidents/Accidents, regardless of how
insignificant the injury may appear to be.
 This is NOT a Workers' Compensation Claim Form.
 The Incident Report Form is to be initiated by the attending First Aider, who should complete all
Sections 1 – 6 and sign the form where appropriate as soon as possible after the Incident/Accident.
 The First Aid Attendant should immediately forward the completed form to the relevant line manager.
 The form should be reviewed and, if appropriate, an incident investigation commenced within 24 hours and Incident
Investigation Report Form completed.
 The original copy should be held centrally and filed alphabetically in the Register of Incidents/Accidents. The form
must be kept for a minimum of seven (7) years.
 If the injury results in a Workers' Compensation Claim, a copy of the Incident/Accident Report should be attached to
the Workers' compensation Claim Form.
 If the incident is significant or serious, the relevant State OH&S Authority must be notified (refer to Notifiable
Incidents in the Incident Reporting and Investigation section of the OH&S Procedure Manual). The CML OH&S
department may also need to be notified by fax (refer to 'Critical Events' in the Incident Reporting and Investigation
section of the OH&S procedure Manual).

NOTE: Only when injury results in medical expenses or lost time should the employee be advised to complete a
Workers' Compensation Claim Form (available through Administration).

 All Incident Report Forms must be reviewed by supervisor and Safety Manager (Include name of person responsible).
