How to create incident records, add involved workers, and manage the investigation lifecycle.
When: Immediately when an incident occurs (injury, illness, pesticide exposure, equipment accident, near miss, complaint).
Outcome
A complete, timestamped incident record with investigation trail, corrective actions, and evidence.
Common Mistakes
Waiting to record the incident. Delayed recording creates regulatory risk and weakens the investigation record.
What Happens If Skipped
No record exists. OSHA reporting deadlines may be missed. The organization has no defense in a liability claim.
