What is an incident report?
An incident report is a written record documenting an unexpected event such as an injury, accident, or near miss. Created soon after the event, it captures the facts while they are fresh, including what happened, who was involved, and the action taken, supporting safety reviews and accurate records.
What information should an incident report include?
An incident report should record the date, time, and location, a factual description of what happened, the people involved and any witnesses, injuries or damage, and immediate actions taken. Noting contributing factors and follow-up steps helps prevent recurrence. Stick to observable facts rather than opinions or blame.
When should an incident report be completed?
An incident report should be completed as soon as possible after the event, ideally the same day, while details are still clear. Prompt reporting captures accurate facts, supports any medical or insurance needs, and ensures hazards are addressed quickly before they lead to further incidents.
