The incident reporting system has now moved to the Helpdesk. The Helpdesk portal may be used by staff and students when logged in to their UCC account. It may also be used by visitors or persons external to UCC, who should contact the ERM Office at erm@ucc.ie if they need to report an incident.

Incident Reporting

Any person may report an incident. This can be undertaken using the incident reporting form below.

Responsibility for ensuring that an incident is reported in a timely manner via the relevant form rests with the relevant Head of School/Department/Section or their nominee in all cases.

Note: In the case of major incidents, these should also be notified to the General Services Duty Officer, Buildings Officer/B&E Facilities Manager, OCLA Insurance, Heads of School/Business unit manager, School/Department Safety Officer and the ERM Office using email or telephone in parallel to the reporting of the incident here.

Sports injuries should not be reported using the incident reporting system.

Investigations of Incidents & Reporting

Heads of Department are also responsible for conducting an investigation of every serious accident or dangerous occurrence. They must ensure that a separate investigation is completed in a timely manner using the Accident/DO Investigation link above. Please note that the investigation form is still hosted on MS Forms, but will move to the Helpdesk in due course.

Further Information

Incident locus department management will receive pdf incident reports by email as and when necessary, to an projected 2 day cycle, within current admin staff capacity for the manual processing of batch outputs.
