Do You Have a Consistent Incident Reporting Process? 61 Safety Leaders Responded
When a safety incident happens, your process is your reputation.
To understand how safety professionals manage incident reporting and investigations, we ran a survey in the OSHA Discussion & Support / Occupational Safety / EHS / HSE LinkedIn group—an active community of over 210,000 safety-focused professionals.
We asked one simple question:
“Does your organization have a clearly defined process for reporting and investigating safety incidents?”
Here’s what 61 safety leaders had to say:
What We Learned
✅ 75% said “Yes – documented and followed”
⚠️ 18% said “Sort of – not consistent”
❌ 3% said “Not really – case by case”
🤷 3% said “Not sure”
This means 1 in 4 safety pros admit their incident reporting process is either inconsistent, unclear, or completely ad hoc.
Why This Matters
When processes vary by location, supervisor, or shift, trust erodes and compliance risk grows. OSHA expects consistency. So do your employees. And in the event of a serious incident, your ability to demonstrate a defensible process matters more than ever.
