g. a brick falling from a high rise and landing in a working area below

Explanation:

Define reportable incidents and near misses

Using the WHS Incident Reporting and Near Miss Identification knowledge points
Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) regulations require reporting any unplanned event that results in, or has the potential to cause, injury, illness, or damage. This includes actual injuries and "near misses" where serious harm was narrowly avoided.

Evaluate administrative and operational options

Using the WHS Incident Reporting knowledge point
Options (b) "Council certification not complete", (d) "Material delivery delay", and (f) "Client changes plans" are administrative, project management, or contractual issues. They do not pose immediate physical safety hazards or constitute WHS incidents.

Evaluate safety-related options

Using the Near Miss Identification knowledge point

• (a) "Bullying" is a psychological hazard that constitutes a reportable WHS incident.
• (c) "A car just avoids running over a worker" is a near miss with high potential for serious injury.
• (e) "Machinery item nearly causes an injury" is a near miss involving equipment.
• (g) "A brick falling from a high rise and landing in a working area below" is a dangerous near miss involving falling objects.

These four represent physical or psychological safety incidents requiring a report.
