Incident Report Format

// Example Incident Report #006 "Beauty and the Beast"

Tips for writing:

• Don't just use a list, try and tell a summary

• Try and avoid using first person pronouns if you can, unless you are directly involved in an action

• Creative and interesting writing makes it more readable, making it seem like a story can be involving

• Unimportant events are not needed, if somebody had to step out to use the bathroom we don't need to know

• Try and split into different sections if warranted, so that it isn't just one big paragraph

• Conclusions should be based on retrospective thoughts, the effects of the incident and improvements to be made in the future

• If you want to get creative and use your imagination a bit that's fine, but don't alter important events

• Don't say this happened so this and that and... lead into different events naturally using a past perspective as it makes a interpretation more valuable
