Incident Reporting & Investigation for Masonry

The Incident Reporting & Investigation workflow supports masonry contractors by ensuring accidents and near misses are handled thoroughly. It covers completing reports, gathering witness input, photographing site conditions, and implementing corrective steps. Supervisors oversee OSHA compliance and maintain archives. Teams share results during toolbox talks to prevent future issues. By using this process, masonry companies reduce risks, protect profitability, and strengthen professionalism. Clients benefit from assurance that safety is prioritized. With this workflow in place, masonry contractors can improve efficiency, enhance accountability, and deliver projects more reliably with safer, more transparent practices.
