Incident Report Awareness <br /> If you have an incident or near miss you must report it to your Supervisor/Manager immediately. <br /> A workplace accident (incident) is "an unplanned, undesired occurrence in the course of work which <br /> leads to physical harm." Accidents may cause harm to workers and witnesses, but also damage to <br /> the employer's property. <br /> A near miss, is a workplace incident that could potentially cause harm but didn't, should be taken <br /> just as seriously as a harmful accident. For instance, if a box fell from a shelf and barely missed a <br /> worker's head, you should conduct an investigation to reduce the risk of a serious accident in the <br /> future. <br /> Medical Emergency Procedure: Survey the scene and evaluate personal safety. Determine if basic <br /> first aid will be needed.
