Incident and first aid records · IN-04

Accident Book Page

A free printable single-page accident record — the person, the accident in their own words, the injury, what was done and who recorded it.

First page of the Accident Book Page — Record one accident on one page, so the completed record can be filed securely rather than left in a book for the next person to read.

What this sheet is for

Record one accident on one page, so the completed record can be filed securely rather than left in a book for the next person to read.

Who it is for

Small employers, clubs, halls, shops, schools, care settings and any premises where an accident might happen to a visitor.

How to use it

  1. Complete it the same day, in the injured person's own words where possible.
  2. Read it back to them before anyone signs.
  3. File the completed page securely, separately from the blank ones.
  4. Complete any formal report your local rules require as well.
  5. Review the pages together periodically — patterns show across them.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Why single pages rather than a bound book?

Because a bound book shows everybody's personal details to whoever fills in the next line, and in many countries that information has to be kept confidential. Separate pages can be filed away as soon as they are complete.

Does completing this discharge a reporting duty?

No. What must be reported, to whom and within what time differ by country and by the kind of premises or work. This page names no scheme — check what applies to you and keep this alongside whatever that requires.
