Introduction
The emphasis should be on prevention, construction is a high-risk business; there’s always the potential for an accident. It is important that all know what to do. Main points:
• Every accident, and near miss, must be reported.
• Everyone must know who the appointed persons/first-aiders are.
• Everyone should know the best means of contacting the emergency services. Talking points:
• If you are injured, you must report the accident to your Supervisor as soon as you can.
• We use Incident Forms for recording all accidents & near misses. A pad of Forms will be kept by the Site Supervisor.
• Your report will be treated as confidential and completed forms will be separated from the pad.
• Prompt reporting of an incident may save a life. It’s not about blaming anyone but all about stopping it happening again.
• Certain diseases or dangerous occurrences must also be recorded. Don’t guess which these are tell your Supervisor about any incident. Your co-operation is very important:
• Make sure that, where necessary, first aid assistance is called immediately.
• See that the incident is reported without delay to your Supervisor, even when no-one has been injured or plant damaged.
• Make sure that the accident site is left undisturbed until clearance is given by your Supervisor.
• Make sure that anything that may help the accident investigation (e.g. damaged fittings, broken abrasive wheels) are kept and passed to your supervisor.
• Even minor accidents can lead to death. A worker trod on a nail. He failed to report it. But, because he had diabetes, by the time he went to hospital the problem was so serious that they had to amputate his leg. Whilst undergoing the operation he died. Remember:
AFTER AN ACCIDENT THE QUESTION IS WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO PREVENT IT AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TO STOP IT HAPPENING AGAIN
