Risk Incident Reporting

It is a requirement that Locum Doctors be aware of Risk Management Policies and be able to report incidents in line with the Trusts Health and Safety Policy.

Hazard means anything that can cause harm (e.g. chemicals, electricity and equipment).

Risk is the chance, high or low, that some body will be harmed by the hazard:

• Look for hazards
• Decide who might be harmed and how
• Evaluate the risk and decide if any steps can be safely taken to eliminate or reduce the risk of harm
• Report the incident to your supervisor or designated health and safety officer
• Follow up and check that action has been taken to eliminate or reduce the risk, if this has not taken place, report again to your supervisor or designated health and safety officer

Further guidance on Risk Management can be found on the Health and Safety Executive at www.hse.gov.uk/risk/index.htm
