Incident and Injury Management Policy Template | Australia

When an incident or injury occurs on site, your response needs to be fast, consistent, and well-documented. An Incident and Injury Management Policy sets out how your business will respond — from initial first aid through to investigation, reporting, and corrective action.

This template gives you the policy foundation that sits above your incident reporting procedures and forms. It's a requirement under WHS Legislation, AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018 and is regularly requested by principal contractors and prequalification platforms.

What's included:

• Policy statement on your commitment to incident prevention and response.

• Defined process for managing incidents from initial response to close-out.

• Obligations for workers and managers when an incident occurs.

• Reference to mandatory reporting obligations under WHS legislation.

• Links to supporting documents (Incident Report Form, Injury Register, Investigation Form).

• Editable Microsoft Word format for easy customisation.

Combined with your Incident and Injury Management Procedures, this policy ensures your team knows exactly what to do — and that you have the documentation to prove it.

This 2 page Incident and Injury Management Policy is included in our WHS Management System and OH&S Management System, or can be purchased individually and used as a stand alone document.
