FAQs
Q. QuestionWhat do I need to report when an incident at work happens?
The detail you provide about an incident at work will depend on the type of incident you’re reporting. Some basic information that will apply to all incident logs is the name of the injured worker, their address, the reporter’s details, where and when the incident occurred, and what actions were taken to restore the health of the affected worker/s and the work site.
Our incident and reporting tool covers it all AND gives you advice on the next steps you may need to take to restore health & safety and alert the relevant governing bodies. So, you don’t need to stress about missing a step.
Q. QuestionWho do I need to alert when an incident occurs at work?
The authorities and governing boards you may need to alert when an incident occurs in your workplace will depend on the type of incident, your industry, and maybe even your location.
It’s not always clear who may need to be alerted when an incident occurs. But the BrightSafe incident and near-miss reporting tool offers you a heads-up on who needs to be informed of the circumstance. Plus, if you’re ever in doubt, we have a 24/7 health & safety phone line to our advisers who will guide you on the right steps.
A near miss can feel difficult to pin down.
But an easy way to think of it is as an occurrence that may have led to an injury or illness, or damage to your workplace or worksite. For example, if an employee falls but isn’t injured. this is a near miss that should be reported.
Keeping a detailed log of near misses will help you track patterns and potential pitfalls in your health & safety so you can get ahead of them before they turn into full-blown incidents. Our near-miss reporting tool makes it easy for you and your staff to log near misses from wherever you are.
Q. QuestionDo I still need to fill in paperwork if I use work health & safety software?
No. Given how quickly the current work landscape moves it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to keep up with health & safety laws if you’re relying on manual, paper-based systems.
But it’s also important you have the option of getting physical copies of your incident and near-miss reports if the need arises. Luckily, we already thought of that for you!
Our incident and near-miss reporting software takes you through a step-by-step digital process of tracking all incidents and near misses from wherever you are on the web or mobile app. You can then choose to print these records out. There’s a complete digital trail of the processes you’ve completed and the activity you’ve logged, so you can prove you’re meeting your health & safety obligations.
BrightSafe software prices start from just $9 depending on your business and team size.
And you don’t just get an incident and near-miss reporting tool at that price. Our software tools are packaged to give you a complete end-to-end solution for your business. So, you don’t need to pay extra for tools you don’t need or want.
