Incident Reports

Incidents & Near Misses
It's never good when someone gets hurt on the job site. No matter if the incident is relatively minor or results in significant injury, a proper incident report should be made immediately, and a thorough incident investigation should be performed. Depending on where your company operates, you may need to report the injury to the authorities. Some of the important things that should be included in an incident report include conditions and actions leading up to the incident as well as photos of the job site, injury location. Also include details about the injury and treatment. The same kind of reporting should be done for near misses. Those are the occurrences when someone could've been hurt but wasn't.

Problems With Incident Reporting
Not getting information in a timely manner
Getting incomplete or incorrect information
Not performing follow up investigations
Drawing incorrect conclusions about root causes
Lack of communication in regards to root causes
Producing Insufficient records to defend an injury claim or OSHA citation
Knowing exactly what's happened is the only way to properly identify contributing factors to any incident. Often there isn't a single root cause. SafetyHQ allows field personnel to begin capturing details moments after an incident occurs when the details are still fresh. The app can notify key personnel right away and gives your company easy ways to track the investigation and share the findings. SafetyHQ can even help your company meet its reporting obligations to OSHA or other authorities automatically.
