There are 6 elements that you must include within an accident report form:
Type of incident: Include the type of incident and the accident class in the report form.
Address: The location of the incident.
Date and time of the incident: if exact timing is unknown, provide a range.
Name of affected individual: Provide details of the affected person and any witnesses.
Description of the incident: Include a succinct but detailed statement describing the events that led to the incident. You can include the type of work at the time of the event, any hazards involved, any personal protective equipment (PPE) used, and the license plate if a vehicle was involved.
Signature: Include the full name and signature of the person for company records. You can use our e-signature field to provide a legally binding signature from any location.
