GTC Incident Report Form

If you have been involved in or have witnessed an accident or near miss while working, the GTC would like to hear about it. The purpose of this form is to help understand the type and number of accidents and near miss incidents in the television industry. The purpose is absolutely not to attribute blame, but to learn from what has happened in the past in order to try and avoid repeats in the future. The GTC wants to establish the causes of a near miss, as well as accidents, so that they are not repeated and so as to avoid inappropriate enforcement action by officers who may not understand our industry’s working methods. The GTC may also be able to provide advice or information to help prevent a repetition.

If you have an incident to report download a report form.
