What Is A Safety Accident? A safety accident is unplanned or undesired occurrence which may or may not result in injury to person(s) and or damage to property. Accident reporting and investigation is a legal requirement of the General Applications Regulations and the Safety, Health & Welfare at Work Act. What Is A "Reportable Accident"? What Is The Difference Between A "Reportable Accident" And A "Non-Reportable Accident? According to OSHA, a reportable injury or illness is any work-related injury or illness: requiring medical treatment beyond first aid; an injury or illness that results in loss of consciousness, days away from work, restricted work, or transfer to another job, or; a fatality. There also are reporting criteria for work-related incidents that involve needlesticks, medical removal, hearing loss, and tuberculosis. A "Reportable Accident" is one in which there is a personal injury and/or a vehicle cannot be driven. A "Non-Reportable Accident" is an accident where there are no personal injuries and/or where a vehicle(s) can be driven from the scene. What Is A "Near Miss" OSHA defines a "near miss" as an incident in which no personal injury was sustained or no property was damaged but where, given a slight change in time, position or circumstance, injury or damage easily could have occurred. In other words, a "near miss" is an event that did not result in injury, illness, or damage, but had the potential to do so. Safety / Accident Investigation Training Courses Even with a great safety system in place, there is always a risk of injury or a near-miss incident. When this happens, steps must be taken to prevent a future occurrence. But unfortunately, safety managers and supervisors often get the call to investigate incidents that occur in the workplace. Problem is, untrained supervisors make preventable mistakes that come back and haunt them in court.
