- The District Magistrate or Sub Divisional Officer
- The office in charge of the nearest Police Station

The Safety Professional's role is as follows:
Support and advise the line manager with incident investigation, including classification and providing medical assistance.

In reality, in 90% of Indian Industries and the Construction sector today, if a fatal accident occurs, a safety professional is supposed to start their job from shifting the body from the site until reaching the relatives. They face hurdles in between and are the ones who suffer the most. They coordinate for post-mortem, deal with the police and hospital personnel, the public, arrange transportation, etc.
If you have any further queries, please feel free to ask. Surely, any forum member will be willing to help you.
