Reporting of accidents, near misses, unsafe conditions

Posted By Andrew Kelleher Hi
I am currently having some difficulty in encouraging employees at my workplace to report accidents, near misses, unsafe acts/conditions etc. I have tried the traditional approach, e.g. trying to engage staff and emphasising the importance of reporting, but this has not been successful. Has anyone else had this problem, and could anyone suggest a method of encouraging the staff to report matters of concern.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Posted By Coshh Assessor Try finding out why they are reluctant to report. There are a number of possible reasons: - "It's too much trouble" - "There's no point reporting it, nothing ever gets done" - "It's not worth following up, it was my own fault" - "If I report it I'll be seen as a troublemaker" Depending on the reasons, the solutions will be different.
