Information about Recording & Reporting Falls

Things to remember when recording falls:

  • Record accurately
  • State fact and not what you think happened
  • State who was involved
  • State where the fall happened
  • State the activity that was being carried out
  • State what happened if observed
  • State any injuries
  • State any intervention
  • Then what actions are you going to take to reduce the risk of them falling again?

Follow your policy for reporting and post fall checks for your resident.
