Safety Incident Investigation Report Template in Word Format

How you document incidents is important!

Not only does the information you capture have the possibility of becoming a legal document, but it might be used in a variety of other capacities such as for workers compensation reporting, insurance claims for damaged property or vehicles, for local fire, policy or EMS reports, during OSHA investigations or maybe just for your internal root cause and incident investigations. Regardless, it’s really important to make sure you capture accurate and complete information.

Incident reporting is an activity that should be more than just jotting down information about who was involved and what happened. It should help paint a clear picture of the incident and provide insight into why it happened—or at least get people thinking about these things as they complete the report.

The problem with most safety incident report forms is that they are disorganized, are designed to be completed by one person and aren’t designed to be exploratory. Instead, they’re designed to be simple and to the point—which is great for simple incidents, but not for incidents that are more complex. In addition, that incident you thought was simple might turn out not to be later down the road when it’s too late to capture important information.
