Incident and hazard reporting
Our Risk, Quality and Compliance Team oversees incident
and hazard investigations and regularly consults and provides
reports to BCHS’ Health and Safety Committee, Board
Clinical Governance Safety and Quality Committee and
Board Finance and Risk Committee. Our Health and Safety
Representatives are active in reporting incidents, identifying
hazards, and providing recommendations for controls.
BCHS uses a custom-built system for reporting and managing
incidents and hazards. When a sta昀昀 member lodges an
incident or hazard, a noti昀椀cation is triggered to our Risk
and Quality Team where it is processed and then sent to the
appropriate Executive or Senior Leader/s to review, action
and record details of the incident or hazard review and end
result/outcome.

We recorded 197 incidents
in the 2024-25 昀椀nancial year.
Incidents decreased by 6 per
cent compared to the previous
昀椀nancial year. We believe the
key factors to the decrease is
due to increase in workplace
hazard awareness within the
organisation and strategic
prevention measures being put
into place.
