1 CORPORATE GUIDANCE ON ACCIDENT REPORTING AND ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION SUMMARY PAGE Introduction As an employer the Council has responsibilities to record all workplace accidents/incidents and to report specific accidents/incidents to the enforcing authority (HSE). There is also a requirement to carry out accident/incident investigations and to put in place remedial measures to prevent recurrence. Accident/incident recording All Accident and incidents including violence and aggression must be recorded on the online accident reporting system available on the Merton Intranet at the following address: The system has been designed to be as user friendly as possible and there are help pages throughout. It requires the completion of a number of questions that fall into two main parts: (i) general information about the injured person and the nature of accident AND (ii) the accident investigation Accident /Incident reporting to the Enforcing Authority (HSE) Certain types of accident and incident must be notified to the enforcing authority within prescribed timescales. The Line Manager of the injured person is responsible for reporting accidents/incidents under RIDDOR to the HSE from the information provided by the injured person and in accordance with the flow charts at the back of this document. Accident/Incident Investigation All managers are primarily responsible for accident/incident investigation. The main aim of the investigation is to pinpoint the causes of accidents/incidents and take prompt and effective action to prevent recurrence. The system guides those undertaking the investigation through the process ensuring they: Focus on establishing the facts e.g. what happened, to whom, where and the outcome Focus on how and why, giving the immediate cause or loss, and then the secondary or contributory causes Focus on any preventative measures needed to prevent recurrence More detailed guidance on the investigation process can be obtained from the Safety Services Section by ing us at or by phoning2 . CORPORATE GUIDANCE ON ACCIDENT REPORTING AND ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION Introduction As an employer the Council has statutory responsibilities to record all workplace accidents/incidents and to report specific accidents/incidents to the enforcing authority (HSE). There is also a requirement to carry out accident/incident investigations and to put in place remedial measures to prevent recurrence. An accident is defined as: Any planned event which gives rise to ill health or injury; damage to property, plant, products or the environment; production losses, or increased liabilities. Accidents are a major drain on an organisation s resources in both financial and human terms. As well as the legal requirement to investigate all accidents and incidents, there are sound business reasons for investigating them and preventing re-occurrence even if they do not result in injuries or loss on this occasion. Accident reporting plays a vital part in assessing the effectiveness of the Council s safety policy and is an important tool in monitoring health and safety performance standards. Accident / incident recording The way that accidents and incidents are to be recorded and investigated is by the online accident reporting system located on the Merton Intranet at the following address: This is the only method permitted for reporting, recording and investigating accidents / incidents. All employees with access to the intranet can report an accident for themselves and where they do not have access, can report the circumstances to their line manager who will be able to report the occurrence on their behalf either directly on the intranet or through the remote access protocol. 23 Accident /Incident reporting to the Enforcing Authority (HSE) RIDDOR The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrence Regulations 2013 require employers to report certain types of specified accident and, incident within prescribed timescales. In order to ensure the specified accident or incident is reported to the HSE on time, the Line Manager of the injured person is responsible for reporting these accidents/incidents to the HSE in accordance with the Flow Charts at the back of this document. The types of accident that must be reported are: Any injury resulting in a fatality An injury to a pupil that results in them being taken directly to hospital from the school for treatment If a member of staff sustains one of the following: - Bone fracture, excluding fingers, thumbs and toes - Amputation of arm, hand, finger, thumb, leg, foot or toe - Blinding or permanent sight reduction - Crush injuries leading to brain damage or internal organ damage - Serious burns (including scalding) which: Covers more than 10% of the body Causes significant damage to the eyes, respiratory system or other vital organs - Scalping requiring hospital treatment - Loss of consciousness caused by head injury or asphyxia - Injuries associated with working in an enclosed space leading to hypothermia or heat-induced illness, resuscitation, hospitalisation for over 24 hours Any injury that prevents a member of staff from carrying out their routine work for more than 7 days. Injuries causing Incapacity from Work for More Than Seven Days RIDDOR requires that work related accidents resulting in the employee being unable to do their normal work for more than 7 consecutive days are reported to the HSE. You should note that where an injured employee returns to work following an accident and, for more than 7 days is employed on work, which is not that person s normal duties, then the injury is still reportable to HSE. In calculating the seven or more days, the day of the accident is not included but if the period of incapacity extends over the weekend then Saturday and Sunday would be counted. 34 Managers must conduct an investigation to establish the cause(s) of the accident, take reasonable immediate remedial actions and record them. As soon as it is confirmed that the employee has been or will be unable to do their normal work for more than 7 consecutive days you must complete an online accident form. Upon the employee s resumption of their normal duties, inform the departmental personnel section of the total number of days lost as a result of the accident. Dangerous Occurrence These must be reported even if they do not result in an injury. The types of dangerous occurrences are wide ranging and include things such as building collapse, scaffold collapse, boiler explosion, explosions, chemical escapes etc. Inform the on (020) immediately. Take all reasonable steps to make the area safe and carry out a full investigation. Complete an online accident report within 24 hours retaining a hard copy of the form for at least three years. Accident/Incident Investigation Managers are responsible for the initial accident/incident investigation. The main aim of the investigation is to pinpoint the causes of accidents/incidents and take prompt and effective action to prevent recurrence. The online system guides those undertaking the investigation through the process ensuring they: Focus on establishing the facts e.g. what happened, to whom, where and the outcome Focus on how and why, giving the immediate cause or loss, and then the secondary or contributory causes Focus on any preventative measures needed to prevent recurrence Also see Appendix A for guidance Recording an Accident if you are an Employee If you are a Merton Employee and need to report an accident you have had, you can access the online form from the Intranet home page and under the More Popular Pages links drop down select accident reporting. Select the option to report an accident for yourself and enter your details. If you are unable to enter the details on the system yourself you should inform your manager as soon as possible in order that they can enter the details themselves on your behalf. 45 If your manager is unable to log onto the system for any reason, or you find their name is not on the manager list for submitting an accident, please contact the on Recording an Accident if you are a Manager Any accident or incident resulting in a fatality or major injury (as specified above) must be reported to your Departmental HR Section and the Corporate ( ) immediately.

Injuries sustained by Council employees in a normal road traffic accident such as a collision must be reported using the online accident reporting form. Confidentiality Accident reports and investigations and the information contained within them are to be treated in strictest confidence. 78 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION Guidance APPENDIX A What is the purpose of an Accident Investigation? Accidents, dangerous occurrences, near misses and property damage can have high human and financial costs. They are often the cause of unnecessary misery and can threaten someone's livelihood. The Manager is responsible for putting in place arrangements for identifying, recording and investigating ALL relevant incidents. This appendix aims to assist in implementing a system that will enable a manager to: ascertain both the immediate and underlying causes (there is rarely a single cause) of an incident; put in place measures to prevent a recurrence (which may need to be done straightaway); re-appraise existing risk assessment (s); review existing control measures; identify activities or jobs causing the greatest number of incidents; and, obtain details, which might be needed if the incident becomes subject to an insurance claim or legal action. Accident reporting and associated investigations is an essential feature of health and safety management in Merton. The immediate priorities after an incident are to treat the injured, deal with the immediate emergency and make the workplace safe. However, during any rescue, subsequent clearing up and investigation it is important that as much care as possible is taken to avoid the destruction of any evidence that an inspector from the enforcing authority might require during their investigation. What are the Key Points in Accident Investigation? The main aim of any accident investigation is to pinpoint the causes of an incident or accident and take prompt and effective action to prevent recurrence. The key points a manager should consider during the investigation are: The organisation: including relevant policies, standards, procedures and rules; The job: including where relevant, the substances, procedures, equipment and premises in use; and, Personal factors: including people's behaviour, suitability and competence to carry out the work. Managers must examine incidents and accidents in sufficient depth so that immediate causes and the underlying failures of systems for managing health and safety are identified. As well as immediate and early remedial action managers may need to make longer-term changes. Improvements might include: 89 Giving training in manual handling techniques Substituting a washing-up solvent with something less hazardous Changing a procedure or other system of work Instituting health surveillance Providing an interlocking guard on a piece off machinery and, Amending the health and safety policy and risk assessments. Which Incidents need Investigation? Managers should be guided by the significance of the incident when deciding what to investigate and on the type and depth of the investigation. They should consider not only the actual consequences but also the potential outcome. The more serious the event or the greater its potential to cause harm, then the greater the effort to be applied. Incidents needing investigation include: a) all injuries, dangerous occurrences and cases of occupational ill health; b) fires and spillages; and, c) near misses and property damage - incidents of this type, which can also cause loss and may be potentially very serious, merit investigation; the remedial action taken may help prevent an injury in the future. How does a Manager find out about such incidents? A positive safety culture is likely to encourage people to report incidents including near misses. Managers might consider regular checks of other sources such as first-aid treatment and health records, maintenance reports etc. to help identify incidents. Managers should consider notifying Directors/Assistant Directors/Heads of Service as appropriate regarding some types of accident or incident so that decisions can be taken about any immediate remedial action and about the nature of the investigation (It may be necessary for a formal accident investigation to be carried out). Who should undertake the Investigation? Line managers are required to investigate with help as appropriate from the Corporate, Occupational Health, Technical Staff and equipment or materials suppliers. The level of management involved will generally be related to the actual or potential significance of the injury, ill health or loss, but in most cases, there will be an immediate inspection, possibly by the supervisor who can ensure that important evidence is not lost. Safety representatives Are entitled to carry out inspections where there has been a reportable accident or dangerous occurrence or where a reportable disease has been contracted. Managers may be present during these inspections and should provide reasonable 910 facilities for independent investigation by safety representatives and private discussions with the employees they represent. Under normal circumstances a joint inspection between employers and safety representatives will be carried out. Training Accident Reporting and Investigation training is available on line. For further details please see the pages of the Merton intranet or contact the Safety Section on (020) Managers Checklist for Incident Investigation and Reports Managers should use the following checklist to structure investigations and written reports. The online accident reporting system must be used for reports of all incidents in Merton.
