Incident Reporting
An incident or accident is an unplanned event that causes or has the potential to cause injury or illness, and damage to property, company assets, or the environment.
When workers are offshore, all injuries or illnesses should be reported and documented. No injury or illness is too minor to report. This includes both work related and non-work related injuries or illnesses.
Company employees should report all incidents to a supervisor as soon as practicable (within 1 hour). Written incident reports should be submitted within 4 hours and preliminary accident investigation reports within 24 hours.
Contractors should plan to submit completed investigation reports no later than 7 days from time of the incident.
