Book Description

OSHA defines an incident as "an unplanned, undesired event that adversely affects completion of a task." The Incident Report Book has been designed to log all incidents that happen in your workplace. This will allow you to monitor and investigate when an incident happens and take corrective action to ensure it doesn't happen again. The incident report book has an interior that is clear and an easy to follow format that will allow your workers to document with ease, encouraging them to report it and it is not bureaucratic and time consuming. The log book is designed in a logical order, starting by asking details of the location where it happened, time, who is making the report and then asking information on the activity carried out, what happened, and actions to make it safe. It then moves onto identifying actions to make sure it doesn't happen again, witness details, and small section for management only to ask if an investigation has been carried out, action taken, and additional control measures required that will need to be planned, budged etc. All this information is on one page and then on the back page there is space for notes, additional information, or early investigation information. Incident Reports are then used to inform risk assessments and to help ensure that serious injuries and accidents do not occur in the future. The book contains 70 incident report forms - 142 pages in total. An ideal format 8.5" x 11 " (A4) to ensure there is adequate space to capture all the information needed. This log book should be positioned in an easily accessible location, and when a report is completed it should be removed from the book to ensure confidentiality.
