Recording accidents
Any injury at work - including minor injuries - should be recorded in your employer's 'accident book'. All employers (except for very small companies) must keep an accident book.
Every employer has a duty to protect other colleagues and members on site this includes telling them about health and safety issues that affect them. As an employer and employee you have a legal obligation to report certain accidents and incidents.
Safetynet offers 2 part NCR Report forms which are used in conjunction with Investigation Forms, or a One-Write Slip system. This gives the reportee a copy to retain, whilst leaving a record on file, ensuring it is efficiently recorded.
Using either the separate 2-part forms or the one-write slip system, as opposed to a book also ensures that the data is protected from the view of subsequent people completing a form.
