Band 5 Triage Officer

Working as part of a virtual centralised triage team, alongside Band 6 Triage Support Officers and Principal Inspectors, the Band 5 Triage Officer will be involved in triaging RIDDOR reports for the purpose of establishing whether the incident circumstances should be referred to HSE's Investigation Division for investigation.,

• Accessing relevant RIDDOR information, including from the RIDDOR database, if necessary.
• Assessing the information contained in the RIDDOR report and making decisions about what further information and / or initial enquiries are necessary to support categorisation of the risk factors in the Risk Based Decision Model (RBDM)
• Gathering relevant information about the duty holder, including HSE intervention history, if the duty holder is already known to HSE.
• Communicating concisely and clearly with dutyholders - both verbally and in a written format to gather further information and / or initial enquiries to support the categorisation of the risk factors in the RBDM.
• Applying regulatory judgement to evaluate the sufficiency and content of the information from the duty holder.
• Applying regulatory judgement to the gathered information to identify, for consideration by the Principal Inspector, serious cases which may require immediate reporting to the Investigation Division - for example, serious ongoing risk, requirement for evidence preservation / management.
• Applying the RBDM to the RIDDOR circumstances, recording the risk categorisation decisions accurately within the RIDDOR tracker.
• Discussing risk categorisation decisions with the Principal Inspector, where decisions are difficult and/or require a higher degree of regulatory knowledge, particularly in relation to initial enquiry responses.
• Retaining and recording all duty holder initial enquiry responses in the RIDDOR evidence management system - ensuring continuity of evidence for subsequent provision to investigation teams.
• Creating and updating cases on HSE's case management systems for those incidents identified for investigation and allocation to investigation team leaders.
• Accurately recording the activity details and time spent on potential cost recoverable regulatory functions.
