Must Ask Incident/Injury Safety Alert Questions
- What happened, and what type of incident is it (injury, near miss, property damage, environmental)?
This gives triage teams the context they need to set urgency and route the alert. Standard categories improve trend tracking and reduce back-and-forth.
- Where and when did it occur?
Exact location and time let you notify the right area and isolate hazards fast. Timestamps also support compliance reviews and shift-based analysis.
- Who was involved, and how can we contact them?
Names, roles, and contact details enable quick follow-up and support for the affected person. It also ensures witnesses can verify facts.
- What immediate actions were taken (first aid, stop work, equipment shutdown, containment)?
Documenting controls shows current risk level and gaps to close. It helps the next responder know what to do next without delay.
- Were security or law enforcement involved, or do you suspect criminal activity?
Flagging this early ensures proper escalation and evidence handling. For criminal events, submit or coordinate with the Crime report form.
