Safety Update- Incident Reporting

Maintaining a safe workplace requires prompt reporting and handling of all incidents. The following guidelines outline expectations for reporting work-related injuries, incidents, near-misses, and unsafe conditions to ensure timely response and prevention of future incidents.

If an incident happens

  • Get first-aid or medical help immediately.
  • Call emergency services for serious injuries.
  • Notify your supervisor right away.

 Delays can worsen outcomes. Do not “wait and see” if something is serious. 

Reporting

  • All incidents must be reported within 24 hours.
  • Report all injuries, incidents, illnesses, near-misses, and unsafe conditions.
  • Complete incident statement forms and submit to manager, People Services and EHS via IncidentReport@gracoroberts.com , CC Maggie Mendoza and Niki Townsend.
  • For incidents at our UK site, Silmid please report to Tony Smith - tony.smith@silmid.com

Employee Responsibilities

  • Report incidents immediately.
  • Complete Incident Statement Form with clear and accurate details.
  • Attend designated medical clinic, as necessary.
  • Cooperate with follow-up questions or investigations.
  • Maintain communication with supervisor/manager.

Manager Responsibilities

  • Ensure medical attention is provided.
  • Secure the area to prevent further risk.
  • Complete required reports.
  • Gather witness statements.
  • Submit documentation within 24 hours.
  • Maintain communication with employee, People Services & EHS.

After the incident

 Monitor employee recovery and status. 

We each play a role in maintaining a safe workplace. Taking responsibility to recognize, report, and respond to incidents promptly help prevent injuries and protect those around us. Detailed guidelines will be shared in the upcoming weeks.
