It replaces the current hard copy Incident form, and sends emails to relevant staff who have OHS responsibilities for the room in which the hazard exists, or where the incident took place. The investigation of hazards and incidents are recorded in SAP, and therefore can be reported on.

Separating hazard reporting from incident reporting means that hazards can be reported before an incident occurs. This has the potential to reduce incidents, therefore reducing injuries and workcover claims. Increased incident reporting. (minor incidents give us a clue that a more serious incident may occur) More timely notifications compared to hard copy (Some incident reports have taken months to reach People and Culture) Additional information (eg investigation) can be added at a later date Improved Management reporting in terms of: 1.Where hazards are located 2.What controls are in place to manage the risks associated with hazards 3.What hazards are yet to be assessed 4.Where incidents occur 5.What causes incidents 6.What incidents haven’t been investigated
