Record safety incidents and near-misses, run a full investigation (people, witnesses, root cause, corrective actions), and maintain OSHA recordkeeping.

The Incidents tool captures safety events — injuries, near-misses, property damage, and observations that became events — and carries each one through a full investigation to corrective action. It also maintains the OSHA records you need at year end.

Record an incident

Open Incidents

From Safety & Compliance, open Incidents and click New Incident.

Classify the event

Choose the incident type and severity, and capture when and where it happened. The form adapts to capture the right detail for that type.

Add the people involved

Record the persons involved and any witnesses, with their statements — the facts you’ll rely on during the investigation.

Investigate

Determine root cause

Document the root cause(s) — not just what happened, but why. This is what prevents a repeat.

Assign corrective actions

Create corrective actions with owners and due dates, and track them to completion.

OSHA recordkeeping

Recordable incidents feed your OSHA annual summary (300A). Keeping incidents complete and classified throughout the year means the summary is ready when you need to post it — no scramble in February.

Troubleshooting

Is this incident OSHA-recordable?

Classify it on the record using your recordability criteria; recordable incidents roll into the annual summary automatically.

This started as an observation

Link the original Safety Observation so the history from hazard to event is intact.
