4.2 Personal Injury Procedure
The following is a procedure to be followed in the event of any personal injury whilst
at work for Harrison Industrial .

If you sustain any personal injury you must:

✓ Notify your supervisor / manager

✓ If required, call for assistance from an appointed first-aider
✓ Complete the accident book personally as soon as it is practical to do so.

If you are unable to complete the accident book one of the directors will complete on
your behalf.

If you find someone who is injured you must:

✓ Assess the person to see if you are able to treat the injury until assistance
arrives

✓ Call the site office and request that the appointed First Aider attends the
incident

✓ Be available to assist the First Aider in the treatment of the injured person

✓ Provide any information that may assist the First Aider with details of the
accident if known

4.3 Personal Accident Reporting
An accident can be described as any unplanned event that results in:

Injury; or

Ill-health; or

Damage to or loss of plant, materials etc.
All accidents are ‘incidents’. However, the definition of an incident is wider in that it
includes dangerous occurrences and near misses.

This procedure has been established to ensure that incidents (which include accidents
and near misses) are bought to the management’s attention. This is necessary to
prevent recurrences and to enable legal obligations for reporting certain incidents, as
required by the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations
2013 (RIDDOR), to be complied with.

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
