How do I review a subcontractor's incident report?

Last reviewed July 5, 2026

Check the report for clear details on the incident. Look for what happened, where, and who was involved. Make sure they've identified root causes and corrective actions. Follow up on any incomplete sections. Confirm compliance with your safety management system requirements.

Key points

  • Review incident details thoroughly.
  • Check root cause analysis and corrective actions.
  • Follow up on any missing information.

Start by ensuring the report provides a full account of the incident, including location and people involved. Assess whether they've pinpointed what went wrong and what steps they'll take to prevent it in the future. If something's unclear or missing, ask for clarification from the subcontractor.
