Sample data

The problem

Incidents are reported by phone, email and paper forms, so details are lost and carriers hear late. Late notice can put coverage at risk and raises claim costs, and without one record nobody decides consistently whether an incident belongs with your insurer, a vendor’s insurer or nowhere.

Where it hits your total cost of risk
  • Premiums32%Not directly affected.
  • Retained losses62%Earlier notice protects coverage and lowers claim costs.
  • Cost to manage risk6%In this example, reporting and managing claims takes about 720 staff hours a year, roughly $52,000.

Typical split from the Risk Diagnostic’s example: a public agency with a $1.2 billion budget. Take the diagnostic and this chart shows your own numbers.

What it does

Report from anywhere

A short web form on your intranet or public site, open to employees without a full account.

Forms that fit the incident

Configurable forms for each incident type and line (workers’ compensation, employment practices, auto, general liability, property), including near misses.

Documents and photos

Attach photos, witness statements, police reports and other documents to each incident.

Supervisor and witness input

Supervisors and witnesses add details through a secure link, without a full account.

One event, many incidents

Link the injuries and property damage from a single event so they are reviewed together.

Routing

Incidents go to the right owner by type, location and severity, with your notifications.

Coverage vetting

Decide whether your policy applies, or whether a vendor’s insurance should respond, before anything goes to a carrier.

Carrier notice

When coverage applies, report to your carrier or TPA with the details they need. Claims are then managed in their system.

Follow-up tasks

Assign corrective actions from an investigation and track them to closure.

Trends and full record

Spot repeat incidents by location, type and cause, with every action and message logged and ad-hoc reports in real time.

Who uses it

Risk, safety, HR and facilities teams, plus the supervisors and employees who report incidents.

Questions

Can employees report without a full account?

Yes. Intake forms can be opened to a wider group than full users.

Does Incident Reporting manage claims?

No. It captures and vets incidents and reports them to your carrier or TPA. Claims are then managed in their system.

Can we report near misses?

Yes. Near misses get their own form, so patterns surface before anyone is hurt.
