Background Information On Incident Reporting
Any incident is an event involving any Caterpillar product which results in one of the following: personal injury, death, product damage, property damage, or an especially unique event though no injury or damage occurred. The purpose of the report is to gather and record objective factual information concerning the incident which will allow Caterpillar to evaluate the need for product changes. Information regarding the incident should be reported as soon as possible after the incident occurs. This will enable Caterpillar to quickly conduct further investigation and follow-up as required. Additional information can be sent in later. Accurate and factual information is essential, since incident reports may subsequently be reviewed in the course of future lawsuits.
Written Incident Reporting System
Caterpillar supplies a prepared form to make reporting of incidents easier, more uniform, and more accurate. Attached is an updated Incident Report Form that replaces the prior form. Additional forms may be duplicated from the one provided, or you may order pads of 50 through the regular Literature Order System. Request Form No. 01-082918-07. Complete instructions are on the back of the form to explain how to fill out and submit the report.
