Why Incident Reports Matter
Incident reports are a critical part of keeping our workplaces safe. They allow us to document accidents, near-misses, hazards, or unsafe conditions no matter how minor they may seem. By reporting incidents promptly, members help identify risks early, prevent future harm, and ensure that the workplace meets health and safety standards under the law. Incident reports also support union advocacy, giving CUPE 1883 the information needed to work with the employer to address safety concerns and protect all members.
