Incident Reporting at FLC

What is an incident?

  • An incident is a safety or health event with unwanted consequences. They can be large scale (campus) or small scale (individual). It occurs at work or while working.
  • “Near misses” are incidents too, only they are about what could have happened. They still need to be corrected promptly.
  • All incidents are confidential and subject to HIPPA laws.

How do I report an incident?

Why do we report incidents?

  1. To ensure any injured person is taken care of quickly and with the best possible care.
  2. To identify safety hazards and correct them
  3. So EHS can look at trends, train on them and assist in mitigating the issues, creating a safer campus for everyone.

Will I get in trouble if I get hurt?

  1. NO! That would not be legal or ethical
  2. We want to ensure our people are getting the care they need ASAP.
  3. We want to remove the hazard or mitigate it ASAP.

WE CARE ABOUT YOU, PERIOD!
