ABSTRACT

For all routine reporting, standard report forms should be used (for example, to report an accident). Such forms, based on previous experience, indicate all the facts likely to be needed by the employer and enable the writer to prepare, quickly, a report that presents these facts in an appropriate order (see Forms as concise communications, page 51). However, the content and layout of each report form should be reconsidered from time to time to ensure that it continues to serve its purpose and is up to date (requiring no additions, deletions or other changes).
