It has been noted that in the procedures section of some of our older SSM manuals the requirement to report accidents an incidents to SGS M&I only (and not to the MSA) is stated. An advice (for inclusion in the SSM manual) will be sent to all our clients to ensure they are aware of the requirement to report accidents and incidents to the MSA.
Furthermore, if MSA choose to designate a more specific point of contact for accident and incident reporting, SGS M&I would be happy to circulate advice to their clients to facilitate this and thus improve current procedures.
