Incident Reports

Incident reports are formal documents used to record details of an unexpected event or occurrence, often involving an accident, injury, or disruption. These reports serve to provide a factual account of the incident, including information such as the date, time, location, individuals involved, and a description of what happened. Additionally, they may include the responses taken, witnesses’ accounts, and any immediate actions for follow-up or prevention.

Incident reports are commonly used in various fields, including healthcare, workplace safety, law enforcement, and education, to ensure accountability, improve safety, and inform policy or procedural changes. They are critical for legal documentation, audits, and investigations and play a key role in identifying patterns or areas for improvement in organizational practices and protocols.
