Free Incident Report Form (UK)
A clear, editable form for UK workplaces to record an accident, near miss or other incident: what happened, who was involved and what was done about it. It is laid out in numbered sections so it is quick to complete properly while the detail is fresh: who is completing the form, the incident details (date, time, exact location and type, from injury to near miss to aggression, damage or security), the people involved, an account of what happened, the immediate action taken and any follow-up. A consistent record like this helps you act on what went wrong, spot patterns and meet your duty to record incidents. It is a starting point you adapt to your workplace rather than a fixed form. Free to download in Word.
