UQSafe is the platform used by UQ staff and students to report hazards and incidents.

Additional details may be available following the initial reporting of an incident.This guide provides instruction on how to edit an incident/hazard report.

Who does this process apply to?

Person affected - the person affected (or potentially affected) by the incident or hazard. Note: Affected persons cannot edit records unless they were the person who reported the incident/hazard or are subsiquently invited into the record.

Reported by - the person logging the report into UQSafe. Although most often the person affected, all UQ Staff and Students can report hazards and incidents via UQSafe, on behalf of someone else. 

Person responsible - the supervisor of the affected person, assigned in the system to create the management action plan.

Safety team - the relevant organisational unit's safety team are required to provide support to supervisors to develop management action plans, and verify that the proposed controls are appropriate, and the target risk is proportionate.

Invited people - Any person with a UQSafe profile may be invited to a record, giving them access to edit both the report and the management plan.
