Figure 1 illustrates the conditions that determine whether a significant incident that affects the health or safety of a child is required to be reported to OHS.

Figure 2. Significant Health and Safety Incidents

Figure 2 illustrates a decision tree that can be used when determining whether an incident requires an incident report to OHS.

Figure 3. Reporting Timeline Requirements

Figure 3 illustrates the OHS incident reporting timeline requirements. Programs should report incidents to OHS immediately, but no later than seven calendar days following a health or safety incident.

The example illustration shows that the reporting timeline begins on Day 0, or the day of the incident, which is Tuesday the 12th. The last day to report the incident to OHS is on Day 7, which is Tuesday the 19th. On Wednesday the 20th, the report would be considered overdue.
