Outcomes

What you leave able to do

Structure the report. Organise investigation data so the reader follows the evidence to the conclusion.

Keep evidence, analysis and conclusion apart. Facts from assumptions, findings from opinion.

Write the factors. Contributing factors stated so each one can be tested and traced.

Land the recommendations. Linked to the factors, written so they can be actioned and closed.

Brief upwards. Executive summaries and presentation material that hold the argument in a page.

Who it is for

You write the report other people have to act on

WHS professionals, supervisors and managers, safety advisers, investigation team members and anyone who prepares or contributes to investigation reports. Especially useful for people who investigate well and document less well.
