Witness (Statement) Incident Report Template

A witness incident report documents a person’s firsthand account of an event they observed or heard. By recording the witness’s viewpoint, the report helps clarify what happened and whether outside factors, such as rain or slippery floors, played a role. A standard witness report also notes the time, date, and the witness’s location when the incident occurred.
