Notification of Fatality/Serious Injury/Near Serious Accident is coded as?

• A. 1500 Handbook
• B. 8100
• C. 1700 Handbook
• D. 1831

Answer: (B)

Codes used to classify incident notifications ensure quick, consistent reporting so the right people can respond immediately. The 8100 code is designated specifically for Notification of Fatality/Serious Injury/Near Serious Accident, making it the standard trigger to alert supervisors, safety officers, and the appropriate command channels and to initiate the formal investigation and documentation process. The other options are not this numeric notification code—they refer to reference handbooks or refer to different forms or procedures rather than the immediate reporting category. So the 8100 code is the correct choice because it directly corresponds to triggering the proper escalation and record-keeping for these serious events.
