Why Report All Accidents / Incidents?

It may seem trivial reporting very minor injuries (such as a paper cut or being pricked by a staple), or indeed where it is only a near miss and an injury has not even occurred. However, early reporting of these types of incidents helps to identify and rectify faulty plant or practices before a more serious incident, and provides an incident trail in the event of any complications occurring down the track. The diagram below shows minor injuries and near misses are often warning signs of a more major incident; by reporting all accidents and incidents, you can help prevent more serious incidents and contribute to a safe working environment for yourself and your colleagues.
