How to complete the Incident Report Form

When to fill in the form

This is a generic incident report form for all West Tyrone Ramblers activities but is designed primarily for walks outlined in the WTR programme.

Please fill in the form as quickly as possible after the incident and return it as soon as possible, and within 10 days maximum.  Members may choose to fill in the form electronically and email it to westtyroneramblers@gmail.com   If you return it electronically there is no need to send a hard copy in the post.  The form is also available on the website, (see link provided above).

Please provide as much information as possible and use a continuation sheet if necessary.  We request that contact details of at least one key witness are provided in case further investigation should be required.  You may decide that due to the nature of the incident it is best to provide the details of a number of witnesses.

Serious incidents:

If an incident of a serious nature has taken place, please report it to the Chairperson at the earliest opportunity on 07584 412650.  A serious incident is defined as posing ‘immediate danger to life where outside help is required to resolve the incident’.

This includes incidents where 999 has been called, urgent medical help is required, urgent help is required to get the party/member to safety, evacuation of party/member by emergency services.

What happens next?

Once your form is received by the Committee it will be reviewed immediately.  An acknowledgement will be sent, and appropriate support made available.  Occasionally further investigation may follow, in which case a member of the Committee will be in touch.
