Employee injury report
Internal recordWhat happened, where, who was there and what was done — with no medical detail at all.
Facts, in the words of whoever was there
Where they were, what they were doing, what went wrong, who else was present, and what was done right away. Written on the day it is a record; reconstructed later it is an argument.
No medical content, and no field for any
No diagnosis, no condition, no medication, no clinician, no treatment detail, no body part and no injury type. The record holds what happened, not what is wrong with somebody.
Around it
Where somebody is given different duties afterwards, that is the modified duty record, which never holds why either. A close call is the near-miss report, and something that has to be put right is a work order.
An internal factual record. It holds no diagnosis, condition, medication, clinician or treatment detail, offers no body-part or injury-type list, reproduces no official form, and makes no recordability or reportability determination. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Why is there no body part or injury type list?
- Because both are medical taxonomies about a named worker, and a free website offering one is collecting health information into a browser. What an employer can honestly write down is what happened, where, when, who was there and what was done — which is what this asks for.
- Does it tell me whether the injury is OSHA recordable?
- No. It makes no recordability and no reportability determination, reproduces no OSHA form, and is not a 300, 300A or 301. Those are determinations for the employer, and this product does not put them to somebody disguised as a checkbox.
- Can I record the diagnosis or what the doctor said?
- No, and there is no field for it. No diagnosis, no condition, no medication, no clinician and no treatment detail. That information belongs with the treating professional and with whoever holds your confidential files.
- Is this the same as the incident report?
- It runs on the same engine and is deliberately narrower. The incident report answers to a regulatory rule engine and asks the questions that feed it; this one is an internal factual record and asks none of them.
