1 Overview

This Reference Guide is designed to inform Defence personnel on the procedure for creating, updating and managing an Incident notification in SAP.

An Incident is an unplanned, undesired event that adversely affects the completion of a task and/or endangers the safe operation of the Defence estate and/or the environment.

An incident is recorded by any person in one of three ways:

submitting the offline electronic PDF form to the incident reporting email address. This will then automatically create an incident notification within Defence SAP and Workflow to the appropriate incident manager.

accessing the Defence SAP Health & Safety functional area recording the incident

calling the Incident Manager to record the incident.

Recording an incident is the first step of Incident Processing, Investigating and Reporting (IPIR). The most commonly used type of incident record is Report Incident – Simplified and the steps may be the same for each type of incident depending on the specific incident details.

There are three types of incident records:

Incident - Simplified

Near Miss

Safety Observation.

The objective of IPIR is to review impacts ensuring corrective actions are effective, and establishing preventive actions to reduce the likelihood of incidents recurring.

The five Defence roles involved in IPIR are:

Incident Reporter

Incident Manager

Incident Investigator

Task Implementer

Health & Safety Master Data Administrator.
