Incident Investigation Form
Free SAFEPATH resource
This guide helps supervisors and managers capture the information that matters most after an incident, near miss, or property damage event. Keep the focus on facts, causes, and corrective actions instead of blame.
Capture the facts first
- Who was involved
- Date, time, and location
- Task being performed
- Injury type or event outcome
- Witnesses and immediate response actions
Then identify the causes
- Unsafe conditions
- Unsafe acts or decision points
- Training or procedure gaps
- Equipment or maintenance issues
- Supervision or communication breakdowns
Corrective action fields
- Immediate containment actions
- Longer-term corrective actions
- Responsible person
- Due date
- Verification of completion
