Hazard, incident and near miss reporting
If a manual handling task or activity results in a serious injury or emergency, call 000 and provide first aid assistance.
Manual handing hazards must be reported as early as possible to the principal or their delegate to ensure that work practices can be reviewed and appropriate measures taken. Issues can be communicated via HSRs where they have been elected or directly to the principal or delegate.
Hazards, incidents and near misses involving manual handling can be reported in eduSafe (staff login required). eduSafe Plus can help with allocation of tasks and management of hazards.
For more information on reporting hazards and incidents, go to the Managing and Reporting School Incidents (Including Emergencies) policy.
