When documenting an injury resulting from a fire, which record should be used?

• A. Within the company accident book or similar documentary record.
• B. In the employee's personal diary.
• C. In the building maintenance log.
• D. In the marketing department's report.

Answer: (A)

The injury should be documented in the company accident book or an equivalent official safety-record. This provides a formal, auditable, and accessible record for investigation, trend analysis, and any statutory reporting. Personal diaries aren’t suitable because they’re private and not standardized or easy to retrieve. A building maintenance log is focused on facility tasks rather than recording injuries for safety management, and a marketing department report has no relevance to the incident. The accident book captures the essential details—what happened, when, where, who was affected, the injuries, and immediate actions—forming the basis for follow-up and preventive measures.
