Which document is used to record incidents during practice sessions?

• A. Risk assessments
• B. Task logs
• C. Incident reports
• D. Participant consent forms

Answer: (C)

Incidents that occur during practice sessions are recorded to capture exactly what happened, when and where it occurred, who was involved, what injuries or damages occurred, and what immediate actions were taken. An incident report provides a formal, traceable record that can be reviewed later to understand the sequence of events, inform any necessary investigations, and guide changes to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Other documents serve different safety functions: risk assessments look ahead to identify hazards and plan controls before activity; task logs track the steps or progress of tasks during the session; participant consent forms confirm that individuals have agreed to participate and are aware of risks. They don’t systematically document actual incidents after they happen, which is why the incident report is the appropriate record for this purpose.
