Management Information Sheet
New online accident reporting system
With effect from Monday 28 January 2013 all accidents, incidents, near misses and cases of work related ill health should be reported to the Health Safety and Wellbeing team using a new online system which is accessible over the internet, and not using the old Form 601. Full details and guidance on how to access and use the system will be published in Schools PeopleNet on Friday 25 January 2013.
As the system is internet based all Headteachers and staff will be able to access the system from any internet enabled computer at work, home or in public areas such as libraries etc. Staff will not need a user name or password to report an incident, but will simply click on the "Report an Incident" button on the website homepage and following a basic date of birth security check will then be able to fill in details of the incident using fields that are very similar to the ones in the existing paper form. Once the incident form is completed and submitted it is sent to the Headteacher or other nominated person using an email notification, who will then carry out their investigation using online forms and templates within the same system.
Any queries relating to the system should be directed to the Health and Safety Team who will be glad to help at:
