This accident investigation checklist helps teams document incidents thoroughly and consistently. Capture key details such as the investigation number, investigator, date, injured person, and immediate actions taken. Record site conditions with photos, precise location, equipment or vehicles involved, and CCTV availability. List documents to collect including risk assessments, training records, maintenance logs, COSHH assessments, manual handling assessments, and previous incident reports. Gather physical evidence like damaged parts, PPE, and relevant articles or substances. Use the checklist to build a clear picture of what happened, analyze root causes, and assign corrective actions to improve workplace safety and compliance.
