SIT distinguishes an incident from a near miss and from an observed hazard. Its examples include a slip that causes injury, a slip without a fall and an unsafe wet floor.

In practical terms, describe the event in your own words instead of forcing certainty about a cause you did not witness. Separate what you saw from what you think may have happened. That distinction helps avoid an unclear or misleading account.

The form includes Campus Heart, Campus Court and an “Others” option, with space for additional location details. A campus name alone may leave too much area to search.

If safely available, provide a building, floor, room or nearby landmark. For illustration, “outside this room on this floor” is more useful than “near a staircase.” Do not approach a hazard simply to obtain a better description or photograph.

Depending on the report type, SIT requests details such as the date, time, outcome, immediate action and relevant supporting material. Read the form’s consent statement before submitting personal information.

Keep the account concise and factual. If there is uncertainty, say so. Use the official form rather than posting identifiable information about another person in a public discussion, and avoid promising a resolution time this guide cannot verify.

Routine questions about courses, visits or office contacts belong in the appropriate enquiry route. Choosing a report type that fits the issue helps the university handle it more clearly.

For orientation when describing a location, read our Campus Heart and Campus Court guide. Keep urgent assistance separate from later documentation of an incident or hazard.
