Incident Reporting
This process step is labeled as Incident Reporting. It serves as the primary mechanism for documenting, recording, and addressing adverse events or near misses within an organization. The purpose of incident reporting is to gather data about incidents, analyze their causes, and implement corrective actions to prevent similar occurrences in the future. This process facilitates a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement by providing a framework for identifying, investigating, and learning from incidents. By doing so, it contributes to maintaining a safe work environment and enhancing overall operational efficiency. Incident reporting often involves multiple stakeholders, including employees, supervisors, safety officers, and sometimes external experts, to ensure thoroughness and accuracy in the investigation and response.
