All employers should have systems in place to ensure appropriate reporting, and that all workers have the required information, training and instruction to report safety matters. At the NDIA this system is known as the ‘Speak Up’ system.
The CPSU is available to assist if you are experiencing difficulty related to hazard or incident reporting (Speak Ups) at the NDIA. You can access support by contacting your workplace delegate or the CPSU Member Service Centre.
Accurately reporting Work Health and Safety (WHS) incidents and hazards ensures your employer has the information available to accurately review its safety measures. Your employer holds obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 to monitor conditions at the workplace for the purpose of preventing illness or injury (Section 19(3)(g)).
