The administration functions for online reporting will be http://accidentreport.murdoch.edu.au/admin/

It is important that all accidents/incidents, near-misses and hazards are reported and recorded so that:

• investigations (where appropriate) can be performed, and action taken to prevent a recurrence of the incident.
• trend analyses of the collected information can be performed, allowing the organisation to focus preventative efforts on areas of most concern.
• a formal record is kept for the University and employee, should it be required at a later date as evidence that the event took place.
• legal requirements connected with reporting of injury and worker’s compensation are adhered to.

What should be reported?

• All injuries (events that cause an illness or injury requiring medical attention).
• All incidents (events that cause a minor injury of a first aid nature).
• All near-misses (events that do not cause injury but have the potential to do so).
• All hazards (anything that has the potential to cause ill health or injury).

Who should report the accident/incident, near miss or hazard?

• The injured person, or person(s) involved in the near miss or identifying the hazard. Supervisors and/or eye witness(es) may assist the injured person when appropriate or necessary.

When should the report be completed and submitted?

• As soon as is practicable after the incident or hazard is identified.
