ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS
FAMOUS ENGLISH EXPRESSION AND ITS MEANING
“
The proverb has a literal meaning, although the ‘weakest link’ referred to is figurative and usually applies to a person or technical feature rather than the link of an actual chain.
In health and safety lingo, the terms “accident” and “incident” may appear to be interchangeable – but they’re not. An incident is any situation that unexpectedly arises in the workplace which has the potential to cause injury, damage or harm. An accident is actually an incident that resulted in someone being injured or damage being done to property. As an example, if someone leaves a ladder leaning in an unsafe position and it falls over without harming anyone or causing damage to the premises or to any items on the premises, that is an incident.
“
All work-related accidents and incidents must be reported, no matter how small or insignificant you think they may be at the time.
If the accident or incident involves your customer then this should be reported to CustomerAccidents&Incidents@helpinghands. co.uk or directly to your Line Manager. Although the word “accident” may imply something that is outside of our control, in fact most accidents are preventable, if people follow the health and safety guidelines and policies that we have put into place. Stay Safe.
