Sentinel online accident and incident reporting system

All accidents, incidents, near misses and cases of work-related ill health must be reported as soon as possible via the University’s Sentinel system.

This includes accidents and incidents that occur both on University premises and during University-organised activities held off University premises (ie fieldwork).

Any accident involving serious injury should immediately be reported to your Health and Safety Manager.

If you are not a registered Sentinel user

Contact your Health and Safety Co-ordinator or Health and Safety Manager with details of what happened at the earliest opportunity. If you are unsure who your local representative is, please use the staff directories below:

Health and Safety Co-ordinators: seach by department to find your local representative 

Health and Safety Officers: listed by faculty/service

Health and Safety Managers: listed by faculty/area of responsibility

Reporting arrangements may vary across local areas for those without Sentinel access. If you need further support, please contact Health and Safety Services at safety@leeds.ac.uk  or call 0113 3434201
