When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form CASE-2026-000
- You are running the Incident and Investigation programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: feeds rca, knowhealth case
Not for
- Incident Report, which records any unplanned event that caused harm, damage or loss.
- Near Miss Report, which records something that could have caused harm but did not.
- First Aid Report, which records a minor injury treated on site with no further medical care needed.
- Anything outside KnowSafe, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
