Safety Observation Form

This type of form is best for general safety observations where it's not an incident or requiring an investigation but it might be a general observation of what was unsafe or what was safe. Can be both positive and negative observations. A safety observation form is an ideal form for all staff and contractors to have access to for reporting as they encounter or experience them in the field when working on site. This may form part of your overall HSE Management Software and could potentially prevent an incident report from happening.

In today's face paced world, a mobile and online format is the best way to deliver your safety observation form and to ensure you capture the true heart beat of safety issues in the workplace. By arming your workforce with a real-time tool to capture and report safety observations, you can ensure a more real-time snapshot of safety observations in your workplace.

What fields to include in a Safety Observation Form

Safety observation forms may differ workplace to workplace and depending on the industry your in but commonly the questions asked might include:

Details for each type of safety observation
What was safe or unsafe
Who should this be reported to
Registry of observations
What, when and where
Should something be done about this?
Dates, details and much more

The idea is to keep it short and simple so that staff can capture and record a safety observation quickly and in real-time but with enough detail to know what happened, why did it happen and what should be done next.
