Assignment 7 -- Incident Report
In preparation for this assignment, read chapter 14 in your textbook, "Writing Brief Reports."
Write an incident report on a real or imaginary business / industrial accident for your “employer.” Suitable subjects are damaged equipment, a minor fire, broken merchandise, minor burns or sprains, collapsed shelving, broken windows or doors, and so forth.
Your incident report should include the following parts:
- What happened (factual, not oppinionated)
- What caused it (detailed and chronological)
- What the results were (injuries, losses, delays, costs)
- What can be done to prevent recurrences (evaluations)
Your incident report should be at least 500 words long. There is no limit on length, but all essays should be concise, informative, and correct. Longer essays that multiply errors simply provide more justification for a poor grade. Microsoft Word will tell you how many words there are in a
document.
