Accident and Incident Reporting Policy
Policy brief & purpose
NAPA Auto Parts accident reporting company policy outlines the purpose and procedure for reporting any on-the-job accidents. NAPA Auto Parts is committed to enforcing all health and safety guidelines to avoid such occurrences and expects employees to comply. Our provision, in this case, is to ensure all accidents are reported timely so they can be adequately investigated and preventative measures can be reviewed and reinforced. Scope
This accident reporting policy affects all employees and independent contractors. Policy elements
On-the-job accidents that must be reported include any incidents that may cause minor or severe injuries or result from negligence or inadequate safety precautions. This may include employees who were injured while performing their duties or other people that were on company premises or vehicles.
Accidents must be reported as soon as possible to expedite the investigation and increase the likelihood of important findings. The sooner the cause or details of the accident are identified, the sooner the company can establish preventative measures for the future. What should be reported under the Accident Reporting Policy? The company encourages employees to report all accidents, no matter how minor. Accidents that involve (or could have involved) more severe injuries and require investigation and action from the company must be dutifully reported. Employees are obligated to report any of the following:
● Fatalities
● Damage to the head, skull, and face
● Damage to any senses (e.g., partial or complete loss of hearing, sight, etc.)
● Incapacitation or dislocation of limbs that hinder functionality and movement (including paralysis and amputation)
● Damage to the skin (e.g., extensive burns, bruises, or cuts)
● Blows or injuries to the spine, back, and ribs

● Harm to the nervous system or loss of consciousness through electrocution, hypothermia, etc.
● Poisoning
● Contamination from hazardous substances or transmission of diseases
● Any other injury that requires hospitalization or medical care Especially when an employee needs medical coverage, the accident must be reported immediately since insurance benefits may have to be approved after the investigation. Procedure
When an employee witnesses or is involved in an incident, they must report it (personally or by phone if the accident occurred remotely), to their immediate supervisor, or HR Representative no later than 24 hours from the time of the accident. If the employee anticipates an accident due to perceived negligence or inadequate safety, they must notify their supervisors as soon as possible to prevent the accident.
In some instances, an employee may not immediately realize that he or she has been injured or made ill. In such circumstances, the employee must report the injury or illness to the employee’s supervisor as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of the injury or illness, but in no event later than leaving the worksite or eight (8) hours after becoming aware of the injury or illness, whichever is earlier. If an employee is not at work when he or she becomes aware of an injury or illness, it must be reported to the employee’s supervisor as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than eight (8) hours after becoming aware of the injury or illness. If an employee’s immediate supervisor is unavailable or unresponsive, the employee should report the injury or illness to any other member of management or HR Representative. Of course, if the employee believes the injury or condition requires immediate medical attention, the employee should not wait to report the injury or illness before seeking medical attention. The employee who reported the accident is required to cooperate in the investigation process if called in for questioning to provide details needed. As a general rule, the employee must provide information in the incident report as accurately as possible on the following:
● The place of the accident
● The date and time of the accident
● The persons involved or injured
● Their position or involvement in the accident
● Their actions immediately after the accident
