Who this template is for
Incident Investigation Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in manufacturing & industrial.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 17 questions across 3 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 7 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Was anyone injured?” is Yes, “Details of injury and first aid/medical treatment given” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Severity” is High, “Corrective actions” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
When should I use this instead of the Near Miss Report Form?
Use the Near Miss Report Form for the quick, on-the-spot flag; escalate to this full investigation when harm actually occurred, the potential harm was severe, or the same near miss keeps recurring.
Do I need to fill in all five 'why' fields?
Push as far as the analysis genuinely goes — some incidents reach a root cause in three or four steps, but don't stop at the first one just because it's convenient.
How does this relate to the Office Risk Assessment Form?
Once you've found the root cause here, update the relevant risk assessment's controls so the same hazard is reflected there going forward.
Who should sign off the investigation?
The investigator conducting the analysis, with the corrective actions reviewed by whoever owns the affected area or process.
Is the Incident Investigation Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Incident Investigation Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
What does the Incident Investigation Form template ask for?
It asks 17 questions across 3 pages, 7 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
Can I edit the Incident Investigation Form form after copying it?
Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic layout, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

Can I embed the Incident Investigation Form form on my own website?
Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
