Incident and Accident Report Writing for Safety Teams

When an incident occurs on an African worksite, the written report becomes a legal record, a learning tool and often the basis for corrective action. This course teaches safety and operational staff to document incidents factually, completely and without bias. Delegates practise separating fact from assumption, describing sequences of events clearly and writing reports that stand up to investigation and review.
