Free Incident Management Template - Checklists, Categories, Resolution

Here at WeTrack we have developed an incident management template based on our clients' experiences and using processes from WeTrack's incident management software as the basis. Properly recording, resolving and reporting on incidents is vital to the success of your event or venue, so it needs to be done well. You can download this template - no form required - towards the bottom of the page.

Much of the work in resolving an incident is done long before that incident occurs, so you'll also find pieces on incident response checklists, incident categories, a severity scale for rating incidents, and key contact information for your staff to have at hand at all times.

Of course, you probably won't be using Excel for your incident records - but this template gives an example of the type of information you will want to record in event control.

If you would like to think further about improving your incident management and event control, we have produced a series of blog posts, detailed here:

• How do incidents get resolved in event control? This article looks at how incident management functions in a real-life event control room.

• Three crucial steps for incident management. Get some simple best practices in place, and your incident management will become more efficient, secure and effective.
• Use digital run sheets to manage your event or venue's return. Here we look at the importance of having visibility over the who, what, where and when, and being able to easily update and communicate changes to running orders.
• Seven pre-opening checks for your event or venue during COVID-19. As events and venues return around the world (at different speeds), here is a list of checks to focus on as you come under greater scrutiny.
• How to manage perfect event control. This piece from over a year ago focuses on the two key aspects of managing event control: information and communication.

We also have a white paper - The Complete Guide to Event Control - in production.
