Use the available icon to search menu options. All sections marked withare mandatory fields and must be completed in order to progress to the next page of the report.

     

5. If completing an incident report on behalf of another person, such as a staff member, student, visitor or contractor, ensure the Another Person option is selected in the 'Who sustained this incident?' section.

Reports can also be submitted confidentially to HR Services by selecting the Yes option in this section. The below message will display to any individual submitting a confidential report.
