Near-Miss / Incident Report
Report and investigate near misses, incidents and injuries — with root-cause analysis and a RIDDOR check built in.
The form that turns a near miss into a lesson before it becomes an injury. Captures the event details and type (near miss through to specified injury/fatality), what happened and what could have happened, immediate action, three-level root-cause analysis, a corrective-action tracker, a RIDDOR 2013 reportability check with the reporting time limits, and a three-party sign-off.

Who has to be inducted on a construction site?
Everyone who works on the site, and visitors who go beyond the site office, before they start. CDM 2015 puts the duty on the principal contractor to make sure a suitable site induction is given. Guidance, not legal advice.

Yes, it is yours to edit. If you would rather not fill it in by hand, SiteLynx builds the same document in about ten minutes with your branding, your crew sign it on their phones, and every plan is 14 days free.
