Stig, we put together a reporting process and that is working well and we
have been generating reports. But we have asked ourselves what information
is necessary and sufficient for the report. We based our process on
information in the following books.
Willie Hammer, Product Safety Management and Engineering, 2nd Edition; 1993;
ISBN 0-939874-90-3; American Society of Safety Engineers catalog order No.
4342
Paul Hill, Managing Product Safety Activities; Paul W. Hill & Assoc. Boca
Raton, Florida; 1993
In response to my posting, I received the following information.
There are a lot of good books on the subject that you might find on
Amazon.Com, but here are some ASTM standards on Technical Aspects of
Products Liability Litigation, by Committee E-40. They cover:
ASTM E620 Reporting Opinions of Technical Experts
ASTM E678 Evaluation of Technical Data
ASTM E860 Examining and Testing Items That Are Or May Become Involved In
Products Liability Litigation
ASTM E1020 Reporting Incidents
ASTM E1138 Technical Aspects of Products Liability Litigation, Standard
Terminology of ASTM E1188 Collection and Preservation of Information and
Physical Items by a Technical Investigator.
The newest versions can probably be ordered from ASTMs website.

Subject: RE: Safety Incidents
Hi, Woods.
I am very interested in what is out there on the subject.
We have a simple, all too simple, questioner.
It looks like that a two step process may be the way to go.
First a basic
report and then a very complete report for serious incidents.
I recognize the legal consequential implications in the
long-term even for
an innocent event.
Do we need a harmonized FORM?
