How to Deal with an Incident

If an incident occurs, it is essential that you inform SUSU. We can advise on how to follow the SUSU Incident Procedure. All incidents which result in the loss or damage of plant, equipment or vehicles, verbal abuse, or any other nature of incident which is not necessarily personal injury or building damage must be recorded on the Incident Report Form.

We ask that asap following any incident you complete our online incident report form. This can be accessed by clicking here.

If required, someone will be in touch to discuss the incident further.

What is an incident?
