First Aid Needs Assessment Form
A first aid workplace needs assessment helps you as a business manager/owner to identify your needs in terms of first aid cover required for your business. This will influence the number of first aiders you will need, and the type of course they should be doing.

Crisis Management Plan
A crisis management plan can be a helpful tool for supporting a casualty in mental health distress, or for them to use in time of crisis.

Incident Report Form
A mental health incident report is a formal document used to record mental health incidents. They are typically completed by Mental Health First Responders (MHFRs) or staff members who are involved in the incident. Similar to an accident book, this document is used for recording that a mental health incident has occurred.
A workplace mental health incident form can be anonymised to prevent workplace stigma. In professional medical settings they will name the person to help record a casualty’s journey.
