Posted By GaryC40 Good morning, I am having a bit of a nightmare with Accident / Incident reporting in my marine based organisation - The forms currently in use are geared towards marine incidents only. The problem is if an incident / accident happens 'shore side' the current form is left substantially blank as most of the text boxes are irrelevant to the incident (tide levels etc) The form is compliant with the Port Marine Safety Code but is over engineered for standard non-marine reporting. There seems to be a wealth of threads regarding reporting forms and reporting systems , copyright issues and so on, but does anyone have a simple accident / incident form that i could attach as an annex to the current form or do you think it best to use a separate form for non marine incidents. I am basically trying to not have two different operating systems (marine and land) but this is proving a challenge. Going down the electronic recording route is not an option at present. Gary

Posted By Colin Reeves Gary You have mail. In addition, I would say that you probably have more shore based employees than sea-going employees so your form could easily be shore biased. The PMSC does not specify any reporting arrangements for incidents which are different from those required under shore legislation - in particular para 2.2.4 states that the principles and objectives are not fundamentally different. Earlier it specifically joins HASWA and MS legislation (although cannot find that bit at the moment!) Colin
