The incidents that must be reported to the appropriate enforcing authority (local authority or
HSE) are those that result in:

Fatalities (to anybody)
A major injury (to employees or the self-employed)
A person not at work (e.g. a member of the public) being taken immediately from the scene
of an accident to hospital for treatment
Employees or the self-employed having more than seven days off work in line with the
current sick note procedure.
Employees or the self-employed contracting certain diseases
A specified dangerous occurrence

Accident Book

Under the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1979,
an accident book must be kept by employers who employ more than
10 people. All completed accident sheets must have a unique number
and removed from the book, which will then be securely filed.

There is an accident book at each of the TJ sites. The book is for
reporting of all personal injuries, no matter how minor. There is a strict
Company policy that only the person who has had the accident, the
operations manager or a director of TJ can complete the accident
book. The details must be true, accurate and must be filled in as soon
as possible after the accident.

The accident book must be signed by the injured party to agree it is an accurate description
of what happened.

Near Miss Reporting

The difference between a near miss and an injury is typically a fraction of an inch or a
split second

The Company operate a strict policy
regarding reporting and investigating
any near miss. A near miss includes
but is not limited to vehicle or plant
collision, an event which has placed
any person employed or otherwise in
danger. This must be reported
immediately to a Director or Manager
and near miss forms must be
completed.

This procedure is not for disciplinary purposes it is to inform the Company so investigations
are then carried out and measures can be put in place to avoid any re-occurrence.

There are a wide variety of activities performed throughout our facilities with the potential
for accidents or hazardous incidents. These activities range from office working,
construction activities, vehicles plant and machinery, hazardous substances, business and
personal travel.
