Prepared byGuest Room Standard

Companion form to The Incident File. Order is fixed: aid to the guest first — nothing on this sheet delays medical response. Then the record, the same hour. Write observations, not conclusions; no fault, no speculation, no promises. Preserve before repairing — the failed part is evidence and is kept, not fixed or discarded. This form is operating procedure, not legal advice; notify per policy and let counsel and the insurer own their lanes.
