Step 3: Incident Document Control
***The Supervisor of the employee who was responsible for the event or who was injured must complete the report.
***BHI has zero tolerance for fraudulent Workers’ Compensation claims. All suspicious claims will be investigated, and all evidence of criminal wrongdoing (fraudulent claims) turned over to the District Attorney’s (DA’s) office for prosecution.
Step 1: Complete the Appropriate Form(s) - use the drop down for instructions
After you submit the First Report of an Incident Form, you will use that information to complete the required Incident Report. Click the appropriate blue button below to access the appropriate incident form(s). Complete the form with the help of the responsible employee and gather other necessary documents to be submitted in step 3.
Injuries sustained due to work related events
Employee Injury Illness Report or;
Refusal of Medical Treatment
Damage to property, equipment, trailers, material, tools etc.
Property Equipment Damage
Contact with or Damage to subsurface or overhead utilities such as gas, electric, water, telephone, sewer, etc. this included contact with conduit protecting utilities whether damage to the utility occurred.
Utility Strike Report
Damage to BHI vehicles occurred during the normal course of work or stationary.
Vehicle Damage Report
Occasionally incidents occur that do not result in injury or damage. These are also not considered a near miss because an event occurred. Example. Employee fell off a ladder, but did not sustain an injury versus an employee almost fell off a ladder. This could also include significant violations of safety policy.
Incident Report (non-injury/non-damage.)
Employee or members of the public witnessed an incident occur.
Witness Statement - BHI (this is for BHI Employees)
Witness Statement - Public (this is for those not employed at BHI who may have witnessed the event)
Step 2: Report and Document Submissions
FIRST REPORT OF AN INCIDENT
Any event caused by internal sources are to provide an initial report of the incident using the google form below.
Click the button or click here to access the reporting form. This report tells us the Who, What, When, Where, Why of the event to ensure that everyone who needs informed on the injury is initially on the same page, with the same information.
FIRST REPORT OF A BUSINESS IMPACT EVENT
Any events that occur on our jobsites that were not caused by BHI employees are to be reported using the First Report of Business Impact Event form. These are events such as floods, fires, motor vehicle incidents, theft (when all security measures were performed), and other events caused by other contractors, systems, or the general public.
The same paper forms may be relevant for both types of reporting.
Choose the option that best fits the incident you are reporting and select the blue button below the graphic.
1. Click on Incident Report Submissions to submit all documentation related to the incident.
2. Complete the general information and select which report you are submitting
At-fault Incident
Not At-fault Incident
Subcontractor Incident
Critical Near Miss
Minor Injury (***NEW - All abrasions, bruises, scrapes, and minor lacerations get reported here)
This option is for 2024. It will be a single form for incident submissions. This is where supervisors will submit all incident documentation.
** If you are reporting an incident that occurred in 2023, please click here and be sure to include a late report affidavit.
Step 3: Incident Investigation Tools
Incident investigations are a team effort and require the help and facilitation of EHS Practitioners.
The Director of EHS will determine if a formal investigation needs to be completed.
If a formal investigation is required, the immediate supervisor, with the help of the on-site safety specialist or manager, or the Division EHS Manager will download and complete the "Incident Investigation Report."
A Root Cause Analysis will follow the investigation. This is a formal meeting with everyone from the employee to the COO within that division. The "Multi Causation Factors/RCA" form will be used during that meeting to dive into the facts of the investigation.
A formal "Letter to the Client" will be written by the Divison EHS Manager and reviewed by the Project Director and the Director of EHS prior to it being sent to the client.
The Divison EHS Manager or his designee will complete the "Lessons Learned" report and send it to the Director of EHS for final review and company-wide distribution.
