Record Keeping

It is good practice that any injuries or cases of illness which have been treated are recorded in a book. Include the following information in your entry.

  • Date, time and place of incident or treatment 
  • Name and job of injured or ill person 
  • Details of the injury/illness and the treatment given 
  • What happened to the person immediately afterwards (e.g. went home, went back to work, went to the hospital) 
  • Name and signature of the person providing the treatment

These sort of information can help identify accident trends and possible areas for improvement in the control of health and safety risks.
