Documenting Field Incidents

How to document safety incidents, property damage, or accidents.

1. Immediate Response

In the event of an incident (e.g., equipment damage or a minor safety violation), documentation is critical for insurance and liability purposes.

2. Easy Desk Execution

The site supervisor uses Easy Desk to create a comprehensive record:

1. Job Site Photos: Take multiple clear photos of the incident area before anything is moved.
2. Safety Checklists: Note if a safety meeting was conducted earlier that morning.
3. Daily Report: Write a factual, objective narrative of what occurred, who was involved, and what actions were taken.
