Incident Reporting (RUH)

Incident Reporting (RUH)

Checklists are a powerful tool for ensuring consistency, quality, and compliance with procedures in your organization.

What is an RUH?

RUH (Report of Undesired Incidents) is one of the most important tools in preventive HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) work. The purpose of an RUH is to detect deviations early and prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future.

By reporting incidents, near misses, and hazardous conditions, organizations can prevent injuries, damage to equipment, and unsafe situations for employees, visitors, and third parties present at the workplace, construction site, or project area.

"Do I need to report even if nothing serious happened?"

Yes - in many cases, it is especially important to report incidents before they result in serious accidents.

Most serious accidents are preceded by multiple warning signs. An RUH can be easily reported by anyone, and small incidents or observations may help prevent major injuries later.

RUH reporting applies not only to employees, but also to unsafe conditions, near misses, hazardous situations, or deviations that could lead to injury, illness, or material damage.

Correct and consistent use of RUH reporting reduces risk and contributes to a safer workplace and stronger HSE culture.

Immediate notification when an RUH is created

  • Notification via JobBox

  • Notification via SMS

  • Notification via email

The organization can define who receives alerts and how.

Personal injuries must be reported

All personal injuries must be registered. This also applies to minor injuries and near misses.

Reporting injuries helps:

  • Establish correct incident history

  • Identify root causes

  • Prevent repeated incidents

  • Reduce costs related to sick leave and insurance

In JobBox, incidents can be classified as H1 or H2 injuries.

Serious incidents

Incidents classified as serious injuries must be reported to the labor authorities.

If a serious injury occurs, it must be reported as soon as possible. In JobBox, serious incidents can be registered and followed up digitally, ensuring compliance with legal reporting requirements.

Typical incidents that could have been avoided by using RUH

  • Falling objects due to missing protective equipment

  • Unsafe use of machinery or tools

  • Poor housekeeping leading to slips, trips, and falls

  • Unsafe access routes or blocked walkways

  • Lack of order and cleanliness at the workplace

Many accidents are preventable when risks are identified early through systematic RUH reporting.
