Document background
The Hazard Incident Report Form is a crucial document required under Indian workplace safety regulations, particularly the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020, and various state-specific industrial safety rules. This form must be completed whenever a hazardous incident, near-miss, or accident occurs in the workplace. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the incident for legal compliance, initiating appropriate response actions, supporting insurance claims, and contributing to organizational learning and safety improvements. The form captures detailed information about the incident, including circumstances, involved parties, immediate actions taken, and necessary follow-up measures. It forms part of the organization's safety management system and may be required for submission to various regulatory authorities depending on the incident's nature and severity.
