Reporting hazards and near misses
The prompt reporting of hazards and near misses can help reduce the rate of injury, as steps can be taken to eliminate or mitigate identified risks.
Hazards and near misses come in all shapes and sizes: It might be a slip or trip, that doesn't result in injury - but could have. It might be an obstacle that hasn't caused harm - but could if left. It might be a leak, a broken rail, a large tree branch that has fallen down. If you think it is potentially dangerous, then it probably is and remember, false alarms are good.
It is quick and easy to report hazards, near misses and injuries by logging into AIMS, the University' online incident reporting system. However, if you don't have easy access to AIMS, you can call the Health, Safety and Wellbeing Team on 4033 9999 (39999) and pressing #4 or by email.
Please NOTE: ALL injuries requiring medical treatment should be reported immediately to the Health, Safety and Wellbeing Team by calling 4033 9999 (x39999) and pressing #4.
TUNRA reports should also be logged at the ConnX Employee Services Portal.
