How to submit an Incident Alert

Any registered user may now author and submit a draft incident alert to their company's nominated representative(s) - click here if you wish to author a new incident alert. The flowchart below contains details of what to check before you submit a new alert.

Certain users, now known as "Incident Alert Authors" (IAAs), may both author new alerts and review draft alerts and submit these to the Step Change in Safety Support Team for publication. If your company does not already have an IAA or wishes to have more than one IAA you may request IAA author rights.

It is intended that each organisation, company or business unit ideally has just a single IAA, whose role is to act as a focal point for new incident alerts; they are required to check the information in a draft incident alert for accuracy, quality and completeness, and to ensure they comply with their company's procedures for publishing information on this public website, before submitting a new incident alert to the Step Change in Safety Support Team who will review the alert details before publishing it for public viewing.
