Contractor OHS Management

5. Hazard, incident and near miss reporting

The principal or their delegate must ensure all incidents involving contractors are reported on eduSafe Plus (staff login required) and investigated as per the Managing and Reporting School Incidents (Including Emergencies) policy.

Contractors must report any incidents or hazards to their principal or their delegate. It is then the responsibility of the principal or their delegate to lodge an eduSafe Plus report on behalf of the contractors.

Schools must have a current Emergency Management Plan (EMP) that addresses site specific hazards and threats which have the potential to result in emergencies and critical incidents. For more information on school planning required to effectively respond to emergencies and incidents, please see policy: Emergency and Critical Incident Management Planning.

PPP schools report their incidents for school staff on eduSafe Plus, however for contractors they can raise it with the facility management company. For any questions, please contact the PPP team (refer to the Resources tab).
