An accident book records accidents and injuries, with details including time, location, and medical care received. They can be in paper or electronic format and are used in workplaces and other venues. They should not be confused with books sold by publishers that provide general information about accidents.
An accident book is a type of record in which accidents are recorded. Generally, workplaces maintain accident records so that employers or other administrative personnel can record accidents suffered by employees. Each entry in the accident report book includes certain types of information about the accident, the injured person, the management personnel on duty, and the person or facility that provided first aid or medical attention. Typically, companies can choose between paper and electronic versions of accident books. A work accident book should not be confused with the types of accident books sold by traditional book publishers.
Traditionally, an accident book was a paper and binding type of book. They are still available, but nowadays accident books are also available in electronic format. Some are online-based, allowing authorized parties to access them from any computer with Internet access. Others are available in a computer software format, which means they must be installed on a computer and authorized parties can only access them from that computer. These formats sometimes allow you to install the software in such a way that a network of computers, rather than just one, can access the crash books.
Generally, each accident record book contains pages for the details of any accident, incident or injury to be recorded. Regardless of paper or electronic format, most accident books nowadays provide model spaces with spaces to record specific details. These details typically include the time, date and location of the accident or incident, as well as the injuries sustained and the medical care the injured person received. Details of any further or ongoing treatment received outside company property may also be recorded. Usually, the signatures of the person who suffered the accident, the person responsible and the person who performed the first aid are required.
Although an accident report book is most commonly found in a work environment, other places need and use accident books. For example, any type of day or night camp, such as children and athletes, may need an accident log book. Also, other types of places may need accident books to record the accidents and injuries of customers rather than employees. These venues may include community recreation centers, gyms and other exercise facilities, various tourist attractions and permanent and traveling theme parks, carnivals and festivals.
It is important not to confuse a work accident book with the types of books sold by traditional publishers. These types of books provide readers with both general and specific information about certain types of accidents. Sometimes these books are specific to certain types of jobs. Other times, books provide information about other types of personal injury situations. They may even include legal information specific to certain regions.
