Description

A Voluntary Safety Reporting System (VSRS) is integral to a well-functioning State Safety Program (SSP), providing an opportunity for both individuals and organisations to report hazards, safety-related issues, concerns, and incidents that may otherwise remain unreported. These reports go beyond mandatory reporting and tend to illuminate latent conditions and new safety issues not already specified in mandatory reporting requirements. This guidance document provides information on the VSRS structure, processing of reports, interfaces, and best practices/lessons learned. There is also a poster that can be downloaded to use in promoting VSRS.
