REPORTING HEALTH, SAFETY AND FIRE EVENTS IN HMPPS
It is important for employees to report any injury or near miss as soon as possible. When these events happen, they are investigated, which helps to understand the causes, introduce corrective measures, and help prevent future occurrences. Following accident or near miss investigations HMPPS work with unions and safety representatives to ensure that appropriate actions are put in place to prevent recurrence.
Online Health, Safety and Fire event reporting portal
In 2023 an online health, safety and fire event reporting portal was introduced to allow any person working in any HMPPS location to report an accident, near miss, work related injury or fire event.
How to access the health and safety event reporting portal
The health and safety event reporting portal can be accessed in a number of ways:

Key fobs
In March 2024, all locations will be distributing key fobs to staff to help promote the online reporting portal, local health and safety teams have received these and will be responsible for local distribution. These fobs are a useful tool to assist staff in accessing the appropriate reporting platform swiftly.
