The committee has asked me to complete an incident report for a false alarm fire event I wasn’t present for. Am I required to do this?
The committee for the building I manage have requested I complete an incident report for a false alarm fire event. I was not onsite when the alarm went off. The Queensland Fire Service (QFS) attended and classified it as a false alarm.
Am I required to do an incident report?
Whether a caretaker is required to complete an incident report depends on the terms of their caretaking agreement and the scope of any directions the committee is entitled to give under it.
Whether you have an obligation to prepare an incident report will depend on the duties contained in your caretaking agreement. If there is no express obligation to do so, the obligation may still arise in circumstances where the committee can provide directions to you under the agreement provided the direction is in furtherance of a related or indirect duty on the issue.
The only way to confirm this obligation would be to review the terms of the agreement and provide considered advice.
