We have had an incident, what is the reporting process?
Where an event (injury, illness, incident, near miss) occurs and a person appears to be injured, the priority is to preserve life by providing first aid and calling the emergency services on 111. Then seek advice from us on 0800 555 339 (day or night). We will talk you through the process and assist you with any event investigation forms.
Workers are expected to report all events to their supervisor/manager, as well as to HazardCo (0800 555 339) for recording purposes. All events will be recorded on the Event Register by the site supervisor or worker in control of the site and discussed at the next Safety Meeting.
All event documentation must be kept for a minimum of 5 years.
Who needs a Site Pack and who should have a Team Pack?
The principal contractor needs to have a (Site Specific Safety Plan) SSSP for each large or complex job, e.g a house build, as it details the hazards specific to the site and the controls that will be put in place. The Site Pack contains the SSSP, a site specific Hazard Board and a pack of resources to help you manage safety on site. You can even email the completed SSSP direct to your subcontractors for easy induction as well as send client induction information direct to the homeowner.
Team Packs are designed for workers who move regularly from job to job and are not usually managing larger building projects. Typical users of Team Packs are tradies such as plumbers, electricians, roofers and painters. Builders doing small jobbing type work can also use Team Packs. Subcontractors do not need their own SSSP, instead they should receive the SSSP from the main contractor as part of the induction process.
