HS025 - Accident Book and Incident Report Form

Accident Book and Incident Report Form

This template is for any salon, barbershop, beauty, nail or aesthetics business that needs a simple, private way to record accidents, injuries and near misses. It suits a one-chair barber as well as a busy salon with apprentices, Saturday staff and chair renters. Every accident, however small, should be written down. A good record protects your team, your clients and your business if something goes wrong later.

What you'll get

• When the law says you must keep an accident book, and for how long
• How to record accidents in a way that keeps personal details private under UK GDPR
• How to investigate an incident and stop it happening again
• How to log near misses, the "nearly" moments that warn you about future accidents
• Ready-to-use forms you can print or copy into your own system
