An accident is any unplanned occurrence that leads to the injury of employees or other persons involved in your activities, including diseases or medical conditions contracted as a result of your activities.

Good health and safety management requires monitoring of your health and safety performance. Accident statistics and frequency is one measurement of your performance.

All accidents, both minor and major, should be recorded in the accident book. In addition, this Accident Report Form template can be used to gather additional information so that the accident may be investigated further, and action taken to minimise the risk of the accident being repeated. It can be used as a record to show that your business takes accidents seriously and as a record of the event.

Informal investigation will be sufficient for minor mishaps. Major accidents, included all those reported to HSE under RIDDOR, should be formally investigated.

The template is ready for you to fill in and complete, you can edit it as much as you need to produce a site specific health and safety document for your projects or workplace.
