Incident Reporting All employees have the ability to initiate a close call incident report. • Close call notifications are sent to supervisor and manager of affected department • If the close call happens within your business unit – you are notified • If the close call does not happen within your business unit, you will not receive an email notification. However, all close calls will be reported in the monthly safety report at each safety meeting • If the close call has a global impact, the notification will be sent District-wide to all employees The Incident Response Notification Group consists of - Supervisors, foremen, foremen pool, chiefs, safety department, and HR. It’s the supervisors responsibility to determine when it’s appropriate to forward incident notifications to their working groups. i.e. when employees are directly impacted by the incident and/or could be a good safety awareness share item. Classification/category ratings and who receives notices for each category. • 5 – self-administered first aid • 4 – Onsite first aid administered by first responder • 3 – Offsite medical care transported by employee or self for evaluation • 2 – Emergency medical care transported via ambulance, helicopter, or life flight. • 1 – Fatality or hospitalization of anyone. The classification is no longer defaulted to a 5 and does require manual entry. This was the cause for why some recent items were not getting sent to the Incident Response Notification Group but that it has now been corrected. Escalation process and time line – if supervisor does not respond to incident report task, it automatically escalates to supervisor’s supervisor at 8:00 a.m. the following morning. If a supervisor knows they are going to be away from the office, they need to choose a delegate for their reporting responsibilities as well as inform their staff who they should report to should an incident occur during their absence.
