Incident Report
Pain Point Addressed
Timeline tracking, photo linking, root cause notes are tedious
Incident Documentation is High Stakes—but High Friction
Whether it’s a safety incident, property damage, or near-miss event, incident reports are critical for:
- Root cause analysis
- Corrective action plans
- Liability protection
- Compliance reporting
But the current process for incident reporting is slow, stressful, and often incomplete:
- Capture photos of the scene
- Interview witnesses and take notes
- Document the timeline of events
- Write a narrative, attach photos, and format the report
- Review, edit, and distribute the report to the right stakeholders
In high-pressure situations, the paperwork adds even more friction to an already stressful event.
The Real Pain of Incident Reporting
- Missed details: In the rush to respond, critical information is often forgotten or poorly documented
- Photo/note mismatch: Sorting images and matching them to specific parts of the timeline is tedious
- Manual report assembly: Typing up timelines, root cause notes, and corrective actions wastes hours
- Inconsistent reports: Each manager formats reports differently, creating confusion for legal or safety review
- Liability risk: Incomplete or late reports increase exposure to claims or regulatory penalties
Current Options:
| Option | Pain Point |
|---|---|
| Word/Excel incident forms | Manual, time-consuming, prone to human error |
| Safety software incident modules | Good for checklists, but still require manual notes and photo uploads |
| Notes + phone camera | Leads to lost details and hours of sorting later |
| Digital forms | Too rigid for capturing real-world, multi-step incident narratives |
