Importance of
Reporting Culture.
What is reporting culture?
A reporting culture means cultivating an atmosphere where people have
confidence to report safety concerns without fear of blame. Employees
must know that confidentiality will be maintained and that the information
they submit will be acted upon, otherwise they will decide that there is no
benefit in their reporting.
Why must report?
Collecting hazard, near-miss, incident & accident reports helps create a
culture that seeks to identify and control hazards, which will reduce risks
and the potential for harm.
Who need to report?
Everyone should get involved in reporting culture particularly ground
operation staff who directly exposed with hazard and injury. In aviation
sector, RAMP staff is the one who exposed to hazard. To prevent any
incident or accident, employer need all the information from the
personnel itself to implement hazard identification, risk assessment and
risk control.
How to report?
For Ground Operations staff, you can lodge your report to your superior.
Your report is an essence to prevent any incident or accident from
occurred and indirectly may reduce staff injuries and company losses.
