The process of notifying authorities generally involves several steps:
Identify the Incident: Recognize the situation that warrants reporting. Document the Incident: Keep detailed records of the incident, including the time, date, people involved, and the nature of the incident. Inform Immediate Supervisors: Notify your direct supervisor or manager about the incident. Follow Institutional Protocol: Adhere to your institution's specific guidelines for reporting incidents. This may involve filling out certain forms or contacting specific departments. Contact External Authorities: If necessary, reach out to external bodies like local health departments or law enforcement.
