# How Can I Keep a Record of Kitchen Incidents and Accidents?

You keep a record by asking staff to report each incident in a short form, covering what happened, where, who was involved, and the cause, then assigning a preventive action with an owner and a date. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Forms**, a **Pipe**, and **Tasks**.

Kitchens have burns, cuts, and slips. If incidents are handled and forgotten, the causes remain, and the next person is hurt in the same way, sometimes more seriously.

## What unrecorded incidents cost

- The same accident happening repeatedly
- No evidence of what was done to prevent it
- Difficulty handling insurance or legal questions
- Staff who feel that reporting makes no difference

## How incident tracking works

- A **form** captures the incident, the place, and the people involved
- The manager records the likely cause
- A preventive task is created with an owner and a date
- A dashboard shows incidents by type, area, and month

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- A record supports learning, not blame
- Preventive actions are followed until done
- Patterns point to risky areas and routines
- This scales from one kitchen to many units

| Incidents handled and forgotten | Recorded incidents with prevention |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Same accidents repeat           | Causes found, actions tracked      |
