8.0 AMC ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS REPORTING
It is a requirement that reports are to be submitted in the following circumstances:
• Vessel accidents involving personnel whether on duty or not, and whether injured or
not.
• Personal injury (a) to any person whilst on AMC premises or AMC business, or
travelling to or from AMC business or place of work; or (b) to a non-employee, if the
action of an employee whilst on an AMC activity or using AMC property may have
been a contributory factor.
• Property Damage to property that is (a) owned by, hired by, or is the responsibility
of, AMC, whether or not it is being used on AMC business at the time, or (b) owned
by any other party and which has been affected by the actions of AMC or any
employee.
• Near misses in the above three categories.
Depending on what happened, reports in more than one of the above categories may be
required for the same event.
8.1 Responsibility for Compiling Reports
For accidents and incidents on board, it is the responsibility of the Master to arrange for
the accident report to be compiled, irrespective of who may technically employ the
person(s) involved. This reporting process must be completed within 24 hours of the
accident and, wherever possible, the report must be reviewed locally by the DPA.
8.2 Method of Reporting
To ensure consistency of information within the AMC, the proper reporting forms are to be
used at all times to report incidents/accidents involving AMC personnel/operations. These
forms are:
AMC Hazard Report To be used when no injury or
vessel damage is sustained, but
AMC Incident Accident
