BrightSafe / Accident reports

When adding your accident report you have a button at the top for attach document this allows you to upload any files needed for this report. You will have a section for your documents on the right where you can view and delete any uploaded files.

Anyone can log accidents on BrightSafe. Only people with the Responsible Person permission can then access the information contain within it once it has been submitted.

Responsible People can conduct investigations and determine if an accident is reportable to the Enforcing Authorities.

The detail you provide about an accident at work will depend on the type of accident you’re reporting. Some basic information that will apply to all accident logs is the name of the injured worker, their address, the reporter’s details, where and when the accident occurred, and what actions were taken to restore the health of the affected worker/s and the work site.

Our accident 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.

The authorities and governing boards you may need to alert when an accident occurs in your workplace will depend on the type of accident, your industry, and maybe even your location.

It’s not always clear who may need to be alerted when an accident occurs. But the BrightSafe accident 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 experts who will advise 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 accidents. Our near miss reporting tool makes it easy for you and your staff to log near misses from wherever you are.
