Reporting Hazards, Accidents and Near Misses
The University has a well-established process for reporting accidents, whether it involves an employee, student or visitor. Everyone is encouraged to report accidents as soon as possible to a supervisor. Additional information on this subject can be found by contacting the Risk Management office at 865-974-5409.
All employees and students are encouraged to report hazards, including near misses. A near miss is essentially an accident without injury. The individual escapes being hurt, but the circumstances that lead to this event should be reviewed to prevent future occurrences. Hazards and near misses should be reported to a supervisor or the safety officer, Mark Smith, at 865-974-5084. Safety and health hazards may also be submitted by e-mail. Near misses may also be reported using the report of occurrence form.
