Incident and Accident Investigation Checklist
by Peter Stewart, from the Community
This free incident and accident investigation checklist helps health and safety leads capture essential details after an event. Record incident type, time and reference, injured person details, body part affected, tasks being performed, training and risk assessment status, and a narrative of what happened. Gather photos and witness statements with signatures. Document on-site first aid and follow-up treatment. Identify root causes and contributing factors such as PPE, training, behavior, or housekeeping. Plan corrective and preventive actions, assign owners, and set timelines. Support RIDDOR reporting with fields for report number and outcomes, then finalize with authorization signatures.
