Vehicle Accident Report Procedures

It is the responsibility of any employee, while driving a KCSOS vehicle, to report immediately to their supervisor any involvement in a vehicle accident. A vehicle accident is construed as "any incident involving an office vehicle where there is known property damage and/or personal injury". The employee shall also make, or cause to be made, any necessary notification to law enforcement.

Whenever an accident occurs, the Supervisor shall immediately notify SISC Property and Liability Department of the accident and then assist the employee in filling out a Vehicle Accident Report Form. The report must be filled out completely, signed by the driver indicating accuracy of the report, and reviewed by the supervisor for proper completion of the form.

Copies of the completed accident report form, along with other related documents (pictures, police report, etc.) shall be submitted to the program Director, SISC and the Accident Review Committee*.

The Accident Review Committee will review the accident and other working practices that pertain to the safe operation of a vehicle. The Committee will then submit a written report to the appropriate Division Administrator with the committee's recommendation, if any, for future prevention of this type of accident.
