Providing information and communicating with staff and colleagues in the workplace is essential, particularly when hazards, incidents or near-misses occur which may impact on others. An effective, low-cost solution to ‘getting the message across’ is the Near Miss / Incident Reporting System available from T Cards Direct which is an easy way to manage and document health and safety issues.
Compliance and accountability is essential in the work place and a simple T Board can provide a record and history with traceability from the time the incident occurred to the issue being signed off. All through the process the status is shown providing transparency which in turn encourages staff engagement.
A great example of the Near Miss / Incident Reporting System making a positive impact has been the Greencore Group plc, a leading international manufacturer of convenience foods with 22 manufacturing sites in the UK. David Brady, Health and Safety Manager at the Greencore Evercreech comments, “Safety is of paramount importance at our site and identifying and communicating potential hazards to all staff is a crucial part of our health and safety practices”. David continued, “The T Cards Incident Reporting System has proven to be an effective and very visible way of informing our staff of the situation and status of incidents whilst warning them of potential hazards”.
Sited at the entrance to the work area, a risk/hazard is noted on a card and then placed in the board alerting everyone who enters that area. Once attended too the card is moved from the ‘Issue Raised’ section to the ‘In Progress’ section, then turned around to green when safe.
The Near Miss / Incident Reporting System is one of a range of display and information systems available from T Cards Direct who offer over 45 years of experience in providing effective and affordable information systems.
