The University is moving from a paper based reporting system to an on-line system. This change has been introduced gradually across the University over the last few months and will be fully implemented by 1 August 2017. Faculties and Directorates have been consulted and local arrangements put in place including appointing local ‘Incident Managers’.
The benefits in changing to an online system include:
- It will be easier and quicker for you to report accidents, incidents and near misses -an important indicator of potential problems.
- Reports will be more accurate with more consistent information
- More comprehensive data will be collected which will be easier to analysis. This will enable trends and areas of particular concerns to be quickly identified and remedial action taken.
Any member of University staff who has an accident or witnesses a near miss can submit a report on line at shu.awaken-be.com/ Students, visitors and other non-University cannot access the system at present and will require a member of staff to submit a report on their behalf.
