• Be brief and stick to the facts.
• Be objective and impartial.
• Be comprehensive; leave out no facts.
• State clearly what employees and what equipment were involved.
• List any procedures, processes, or precautions that were not being observed at the time of the accident.
• List causal factors and any contributing factors.
• Make brief, clear, concise recommendations for corrective measures.
