Frequently asked questions

Who should write a property damage report?+

The person who discovered the damage or the area in-charge, with admin or facilities completing the estimate and action sections.

Should an employee be blamed in the damage report?+

The report should record facts, not blame. Responsibility, if any, is decided after a fair review where the people involved can explain.

Is a damage report needed for an insurance claim?+

Insurers usually ask for an incident description, photos and an estimate, so a completed internal report makes the claim easier.
