Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) Policy

Introduction

This policy is for all staff, subcontractors and site visitors working on a higher-risk building project. It explains what Mandatory Occurrence Reporting is, what constitutes a Safety Occurrence, the responsibilities of reporting, how a Mandatory Occurrence System will be set up for the project and how the Building Safety Regulator will be notified when a Safety Occurrence happens.

Mandatory Occurrence Reporting

A Mandatory Occurrence Reporting system allows anyone who becomes aware of a Safety Occurrence – which is an incident or risk relating to the safety of the building itself – to report it to the Duty Holder who will in turn report it to the Building Safety Regulator, which must be done by law. The Mandatory Occurrence Reporting system is specifically for building safety incidents or risks; it is not to be used for health and safety incidents relating to the site nor for issues relating to temporary works.
