In addition, all companies are required to report to the Chief Inspector in cases of gas incidents.

Parts IV, V and VI further specifies what are dangerous incidents for mines, quarries and offshore facilities, respectively. Finally, the First Schedule of the Rules provides a full and detailed list of all reportable occupational diseases, while the Second Schedule provides the template for reporting on injury or dangerous occurrences, as required by Article 3.
