Incident Reports

Incident reporting, assessment and mitigation are a vital element of creating and enhancing the safety of GWO training. To promote good practices and learning GWO publishes its incident reports once investigations are complete. These are published anonymously to encourage collective learning and the sharing of experiences and mitigating actions across the training community. For the GWO Secretariat incident reporting directly feeds into the review and maintenance of GWO standards contributing to the development of safer training.
