Q+A

Q. I’ve just broken the EV charger, what should I do?

A. Reporting this incident is a good next step as soon as practicable and escalate accordingly. Refer to the escalation tree for who you should escalate to.

Q. What if I am not sure whether something is a risk or not?

A. If someone could get hurt then it’s worth reporting it. Even if the chances are slim it’s better to be cautious and report it rather than to regret it after someone is hurt.

EXAMPLE:

You go into the lunchroom and notice that the dishwasher appears to be leaking water onto the floor.

First the water should be cleaned up so that nobody slips on it, then you should report it as a near miss so the dishwasher can be checked out by a competent person, preventing a recurrence.
