When is an incident report required on site?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
An incident report's required when there's an injury, illness, or near miss on site. If it affects work or safety, document it. This helps identify hazards and prevents future incidents.
Key points
- Injury or illness on site triggers a report.
- Near misses should be documented too.
- Reports help in hazard identification.
Make sure all incidents are reported as soon as possible. This keeps records clear and helps with ongoing safety assessments. It's also a legal requirement in many cases, so don't skip it.
