The Health And Safety Incident Report Form is a crucial document required under South African workplace safety legislation, specifically the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 and its associated regulations. This form must be completed whenever a workplace incident occurs, including accidents, near-misses, occupational diseases, or dangerous occurrences. It serves multiple purposes: ensuring legal compliance with reporting requirements, documenting incidents for workers' compensation claims, facilitating incident investigation and root cause analysis, and supporting the implementation of preventive measures. The form captures detailed information about the incident, affected parties, witness accounts, and corrective actions, while adhering to South African data protection requirements. It is an essential tool for maintaining workplace safety records and demonstrating due diligence in safety management.
