Salon Accident & Incident Report Form

A salon incident template — staff record any accident or incident involving a client, staff member or visitor, with a signature.

Description

Accidents happen even in the best-run salon — a slip on a wet floor, a reaction to a product, a minor burn — and recording them properly is both a legal duty and good practice. This report form is the staff tool for doing it. It captures who was affected, when and where it happened, and a clear description of the incident in the moment, while the details are fresh. The fields that matter for follow-up are built in: the injury and action taken including any first aid, who completed the report, and a prompt on whether the incident is reportable under RIDDOR or to another authority — the kind of thing that’s easy to overlook until it’s a problem. A signature confirms the record is accurate, giving you a defensible account if an incident is ever queried by an insurer or a client. Keep it to hand for any accident or near-miss. It’s free, brand-styled, and turns a legal obligation into a quick, consistent record.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Salon Accident & Incident Report Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

Why keep accident and incident records in a salon?

Because it’s a legal duty and good practice. A clear record of what happened, when and what was done protects clients and staff, supports any insurance claim, and shows you took the incident seriously.

Who completes the form?

A staff member, usually the first aider or whoever dealt with the incident, at the time — while the details are fresh and accurate.

What's the RIDDOR question for?

RIDDOR covers reporting of certain serious workplace injuries and incidents to the authorities. The prompt flags whether an incident needs reporting, which is easy to overlook without it.

Why record it even for minor incidents?

Because a minor incident can later be queried, and a contemporaneous record is far stronger than memory. It also helps spot patterns — a recurring hazard — so you can prevent the next one.

Why a signature?

Because it confirms the record is accurate and was made at the time, which gives you a defensible account if an insurer or client ever questions the incident.

Is the form free?

Yes. It’s free with a Fun Forms account, fully brandable, and ready to complete on a tablet when needed.
