How the templates connect across the process

02

Investigate and assess risk

Preserve facts, assess exposure, review related hazards, and document root-cause context before assigning preventive work.

04

Verify and close

Review evidence, close the case, and keep the history available for audits, recurrence checks, and management review.

Keep key details from request to follow-up

  • Incident details, people involved, severity, and immediate action move from the first report into investigation.
  • Hazard context, related risks, and control gaps connect the case to broader EHS review.
  • Corrective action owner, due date, required evidence, and escalation rules keep prevention work accountable.
  • Verification result, training follow-up, and closure notes preserve the audit trail.

Choose the first template by bottleneck

  • Start with incident reporting if the first report is inconsistent.
  • Start with corrective action if investigations exist but closeout stalls.
  • Add training or permit follow-up when incidents expose broader control gaps.

Common questions about this workflow pack

Is this only for serious incidents?

No. The workflow can support near misses, safety incidents, accidents, and other events that need investigation and follow-up ownership.

How does this connect to hazard records?

Incident investigations often reveal recurring hazards or missing controls. Linking the case to hazard and risk records helps teams prevent the same issue from happening again.

Where does corrective action fit?

Corrective action starts after the investigation identifies what must change. It keeps owners, due dates, evidence, and verification visible until the case is actually closed.
