Monash University needs to know if you are injured in the
workplace or on-site; which includes the Hudson Institute or at Monash Health.
What Do I Report?
Any work-related injury, whether it is a cut on your hand
that requires first aid, or a serious injury for which you need medical
treatment, they all need to be reported! Allegations of staff being subjected
to unacceptable behaviour is also considered an OHS incident that should be
reported.
The University also requires us to report hazards and
near-misses. Does something look dangerous? Is someone doing something that may
be unsafe? Has something changed that may be cause greater risk to you or your
colleagues? Was someone nearly injured? Anything that may pose a risk to a
person’s health or safety or to the environment, then we need to hear about all
of these.
Your Responsibilities
It is very important that you understand your responsibilities
to report incidents and hazards.
Employees, students, visitors and contractors: If you
are injured at work, or nearby, you must report it in the University Safety And
Risk Analysis Hub (S.A.R.A.H.) within 24 hours.
This online reporting tool provides staff and students with a user-friendly way
to report OHS-related hazards, incidents, and near-misses so that they are
investigated and recorded in accordance with Victorian OHS legislation.
Supervisors: If your employee or student is injured,
but is unable to report it immediately, you must do so instead.
How Do I Report An Incident?
Incidents are reported on-line via SARAH, which is available
on the University OHS webpage: http://www.monash.edu/ohs/report-incident-hazard
If you need any help, please speak to your supervisor, your
Safety Officer or your HSR.
For more information, please contact Dr Clare Westhorpe
(clare.westhorpe@monash.edu).
With thanks, from the SCS OHS team. Stay safe!
