Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an incident report form and a workplace incident report?+

The form is the first quick record filled in by the reporter. The workplace incident report is the reviewed analysis with causes and actions.

Who prepares the workplace incident report?+

Usually the supervisor, safety officer or HR, depending on whether the incident is safety- or conduct-related.

Should individual blame be included?+

The report should describe facts and causes. If misconduct is suspected, that should be handled through a separate fair inquiry.
