Incident Reporting
All incidents i.e., accidents and near misses which occur on University of Galway premises or as a result of University of Galway work activities elsewhere, must be reported to the University of Galway Safety Office using the Initial Incident Report Form. (Irish version to follow)
- The University of Galway Initial Incident Report is for anybody (students, staff, contractors, visitors, or the public) to make an initial report on an incident.
- An incident is an event or circumstance which could have or did result in injury or ill health.
- An accident is where a person is injured.
- A near miss is where a person could have been injured but some particular factor prevented actual injury e.g. identified a cable that someone could trip over or tripped over a cable, however no injury.
- A First Aid situation is e.g. when someone faints, is feeling unwell due to asthma, other medical condition or generally feeling unwell.
Legislation requires that certain workplace accidents be reported to the Health and Safety Authority. This will be done by the University of Galway Safety Office where required.
The Safety Contact Poster provides each Unit with their local Incident Recorder and other emergency contacts.
