2 HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Performance Standard for Incident Reporting and Investigation 1. Purpose and Scope 1.1 Leeds City Council (LCC) believes that the completion, collation and analysis of incident report forms (CF50 and CF50A) and associated investigations is a crucial means of monitoring health and safety performance, enabling LCC to learn from events and improve its health and safety management system. 1.2 This document explains the administrative arrangements in place for reporting and investigating incidents involving any employees of Leeds City Council contractors appointed to carry out work or supply goods and services service users (including learners) visitors to Leeds City Council premises volunteers working on behalf of Leeds City Council 1.3 An incident is defined as any event which results in, or has the potential to cause injury, ill health or damage to any person, property or equipment. This includes, incidents that result in an injury; non-injury incidents; near misses; dangerous occurrences and environmental incidents 2. Process 2.1 Incident reporting All incidents are recorded on either the LCC Incident Report Form (the CF50) or the LCC Report of Aggression or Violence Report Form (the CF50A). Part A of these forms fulfils the requirement for completing the Accident Book BI510 Part A of the forms should preferably be completed by the person involved in the incident, as this is not always possible their line manager or a colleague on behalf of the person involved can complete them. Part B of the forms is completed by the line manager of the person involved in the incident. In the case of incidents to non-employees, Part B is completed by a service manager at the location involved. All reports are sent to the Business Support Centre (BSC) Where an incident, which requires immediate reporting, occurs outside office hours the local emergency reporting arrangements are followed. These arrangements are detailed in local arrangements at Service level 2.2 Reporting Timescales All incidents are reported as soon as possible after the incident and as a minimum Fatalities and Major incidents immediately by telephone to the BSC followed by the report form as soon as possible (see Appendix 1 of this document for guidance on Major incidents) All other incidents to the BSC by report form within 10 days of the incident Performance Standard for Incident Reporting & Investigation HSMS CPS Doc 03, Version 1 Page 2 of 12

These investigations are conducted by the manager completing the form Investigation must take place as soon as practicable after the incident occurs in order to obtain all the facts. In addition, a further investigation is completed by the line manager using the LCC Incident Investigation Form (in accordance with the Performance Standard for Incident Management) when the incident has been reported under RIDDOR when the incident has resulted in any lost time (Lost time is defined as any absence from work as a result of the incident other than on the day of the incident.) when the incident had the potential for serious injury or when the manager feels a further investigation is necessary. The completed investigation form is sent by the manager to the BSC 2.4 The Business Support Centre. reports incidents to the HSE in line with the requirements of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrence Regulations 2012 (RIDDOR) records all incidents on the LCC incident reporting database records the actions taken following investigations on the incident reporting database informs the relevant H&S Team for the Service involved of all incidents which are reportable under RIDDOR and serious cases of violence and aggression (e.g. where police have become involved) sends a copy of any reports of Violence and Aggression upon request by Legal Services sends a copy of all environmental incidents to Environment City produces reports quarterly for the Safety, Well-being and Attendance Performance Report and as required by Services and H&S Committees 2.5 Legal Services For incidents involving violence and aggression, Legal Services will run regular reports from the data base to identify reported incidents which appear to require further action to be taken.

12 Managers Incident Investigation Form Materials and Substances PPE Photographs/ CCTV Sketches Audio recordings Other documentation Witnesses Name Contact Details Investigation carried out by: Name: Signature: Location of the records of the interview Position: Date: Date forwarded to Business Support Centre Guidance on Completion of Investigation Form Location of Incident Be precise, give an address if necessary and state where in the premises the incident occurred. Full Description of Circumstances State exactly what activity was being undertaken at the time of the incident, state what equipment was being used and what loss/damage to equipment and injuries to personnel were sustained. If it is relevant, state what the weather conditions were like at the time of the incident. Control Measures The risk assessment for the task will specify the control measures that should have been in place at the time of the accident. State whether the control measures were being observed. Was he/she in possession of all the specified documentation and PPE? Had he/she received all of the specified training? If not - make certain your investigation records this. Immediate Cause of Incident This is the factor that led directly to the incident. For example, if someone slips on a wet floor the Immediate Cause is the liquid on the floor. Possible Underlying Cause(s) of Incident (Using the same example as above) Establish why the floor was wet. Was there a spillage, had the floor just been cleaned.. Were the controls in place and were they being followed Management Action Your role as an investigator is to establish why the incident happened and where appropriate to put in place measures to prevent a similar incident occurring in the future. Can you change the way the job is done? Would refresher training help? Just telling the injured person to take more care is NOT sufficient. You might take some action immediately and other action, which will require retraining or re-equipping, over a period of time - document all your immediate and future actions (stating timescales) on the investigation form.
