##### GM1 ORGH.GEN.160(b);(e) Reporting of safety-related occurrences *ED Decision 2025/007/R* **REPORTABLE EVENTS AND FOLLOW‑UP REPORTS** (a) The list of reportable GH events can be found in Annex IV to [Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1018](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2015/1018/oj), ‘Occurrences related to aerodromes and ground services’, points 1 and 2. (b) Not all occurrences recorded under a voluntary reporting system are reportable to the competent authority; only those that involve an actual or potential aviation safety risk (Article 5(5) and (6) of [Regulation (EU) No 376/2014](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/376/oj), covering voluntary reporting) are reportable to the competent authority. (c) It is recommended that the GH organisation liaise with the competent authority to determine what types of occurrences are considered to involve an actual or potential aviation safety risk. (d) The GH organisation may need to assess whether that reported occurrence is subject to mandatory or voluntary reporting and consequently apply the relevant notification obligations. Sometimes a report submitted under a voluntary reporting system may have to be reclassified by the GH organisation as a mandatory report and vice versa. (e) The GH organisation is encouraged to include all available relevant information in the notification of the competent authority. If appropriate, the information should include the indication that no further analysis or follow‑up actions will be conducted on that occurrence (‘closed on issue’) or the assessment of the safety risk of that occurrence and actions taken to mitigate it.
