Incident Reporting
Incident Reporting
All injuries and near misses must be reported to your supervisor/mentor.
Timely reporting is critical in allowing us to ensure that you receive the necessary treatment and care; as well as allowing us to correct any hazards to prevent the same injury from occurring again and disseminate lessons learned.
For all life-threatening emergencies or signs of fire, please call 911 immediately.
This applies to both indoor and outdoor fires.
We must report all fire-related incidents, even those that are quickly resolved and appear inactive. This ensures proper channels are notified so resources can take appropriate action, such as implementing a fire watch for possible re-ignition.
For non-emergency situations, call the Site Operations Center (SOC) at (510) 486-6999. Reporting whether it is happening right now or is ongoing allows the right group to be notified to resolve the situation.
Examples include: Electrical incidents such as minor shock or damaged equipment, suspicious activity, wildlife concerns, vehicle damage, and chemical spills.
Additional details and examples are provided in this FAQ: https://securityandemergencyservices.lbl.gov/notify-faq/#SOC
If you are uncertain, play it safe and notify the SOC. They are staffed 24/7 so this is also the best option for after-hours incidents.
Call 510-486-6266 to report work-related injuries to Health Services. Notify your supervisor and Division Safety Coordinator of any injuries and near misses.
