We have renamed the Accident Report to the Incident Report. This is important because of how we look at how to improve safety. An incident happens anytime something unplanned occurs. The more information we gather regarding any incident, the better we will understand what contributing factors are. Where do incidents happen? Who is involved? Why did they occur?
Incident reports DO NOT effect the experience rates of insurance costs. On the contrary, the more we show our commitment to safety by tracking, understanding, learning, and teaching from the information we gather the greater the potential to reduce our rates.
We want to gather as much information about an incident as we can and from as many different perspectives as possible. We ask that when incidents occur(and they will) as many people as possible who witnessed the incident would take the time to report their version. This is our greatest learning tool and will help us better understand risky behaviors and how to prevent them.
Thank you for taking the time to contribute and 'May safety be with you'.
