Use this initial strike report master template to document utility strikes on construction sites. Capture subcontractor details, site ganger and operatives involved, nature of works, and whether an SSRA was completed. Record a clear description of events and immediate actions taken, note any injuries, the utility affected, and the utility reference number. Include surface type, depth of service, presence of marker tape, tiles or mesh, and whether utility plans were on site and noted. Verify calibration dates of CAT and Genny, confirm services were clearly marked above ground, and indicate if damage occurred from mechanical excavation within 500 mm of a known service.
