Report and investigate an incident

Which accepted incident findings need separately owned corrective actions?

The accountable owner works from report form and investigation. The record makes accepted or returned and actions handed to hazard_care or work_order clear to the next person.

Your questions

Prepare the method for your team

What stays with the recorded response?

The response for this occurrence retains accepted or returned, actions handed to hazard_care or work_order and investigation closed. It belongs to the work being reviewed, rather than replacing a different occurrence's record.

Which materials do we need to bring?

Bring report form and investigation. We use those choices to prepare the working context, then check that each task opens the material it needs.

How do people receive the prepared work?

Select the prepared task and the relevant recipients when assigning work. Making a playbook available to a group and giving a person a task are separate setup choices.

What is the outcome for the wider workflow?

Recordability decided and the clocks recorded with receipts where an external submission applied; findings accepted; corrective actions exist as linked cases with their own closure.
