Reacting to an accident or incident

If an accident or incident (including a near miss) occurs at UTS:

• Ensure that the person involved receives first aid and/or medical treatment.

• It must be reported, by using the HIRO (Hazard and Incident Reporting Online) system.

UTS staff members who seek medical treatment and/or who require time off work due to a work-related injury or illness may be entitled to lodge a claim for workers compensation.

Students and visitors to UTS are not entitled to lodge a claim for workers compensation, but if costs are incurred due to an injury, illness or property damage, may be able to claim against a UTS public liability insurances.
