An incident / accident report includes a section in which the affected individual or a witness describes whatever happened. This description should be written in a neutral and factual way, with as much relevant detail as possible. Read the descriptions below. Decide why these descriptions are not suitable for an incident / accident report, and then rewrite them.

    1. As always, Jack was joking around and not doing his job properly. He was standing in his usual place, chatting to his mate, and he was really close to the machine. And, what a surprise, he didn’t have his gloves on! I think he’d lost them or something. Anyway, he laughed at something his friend said and then the next thing I knew his hand was caught in the machine and he was screaming like crazy. It was awful. Pat, the guy standing next to Jack, switched the machine off. There was blood everywhere. I felt sick and I had to sit down for a while.

    2. When I arrived at work, there was lots of water on the office floor. There was a hole in the ceiling. I called the manager on his mobile and he came to see.
