Accident Reporting

Accident Reporting

The University is obliged to report to the statutory authorities a number of designated safety and environmental related incidents.  It is therefore vital that all accidents, incidents and near misses are reported promptly to ensure that the University is compliant in fulfilling its statutory accident reporting duties.

All incidents resulting in personal injury, near misses or damage to property must be notified to the UCD SIRC Office on the day of the occurrence or as soon is practicable thereafter using the (opens in a new window)UCD Online Incident Report Form.

Any queries should be sent to (opens in a new window)sirc@ucd.ie.

The University has implemented an online incident report form through a new software platform called iProtectU.  This replaces the previously used pdf form.

No other paper forms or pdfs will be accepted by the SIRC Office, all reports must be made via the online form.

How to submit a report

  1. Login to the online system through this (opens in a new window)link or via the Health and Safety icon on the UCD Connect page
  2. You will be directed to the UCD SSO login page.  Login using your UCD Connect login details
  3. Once logged in to the system, select ‘Report Incident’ on the left hand menu
  4. Click on ‘Submit a Report’ and complete the relevant sections of the form

Submitting a Report on an Undergraduate Student or Other Person

Staff and Research Postgraduate Students can submit an incident report involving an undergraduate student, for example an incident occurring during an undergraduate laboratory practical or another person who does not have system access.
