Risk Management
Supervision - Reporting obligations

Sample Wording

All accidents, injuries and hazards must be reported immediately to your staff supervisor or administrator of volunteer resources. Incidents include violence, theft, threatening behaviour, abuse or any (potentially) unsafe situation.

Why?

When an incident occurs it is important that volunteers and staff know how to respond and that all relevant information is recorded as soon as possible to assist further investigation if necessary.

By encouraging volunteers to report potentially hazardous situations you may be able to prevent or reduce incidents.

Key issues/procedures

Train volunteers in how to report a situation of potential risk or hazard and how to respond in case of an incident.

Clarify who to report to and how to fill out an incident report (PDF, 90KB).
