Do you have experience creating accident reports or filling out medical forms? Why is proper documentation important?

If you have ever encountered an accident or medical emergency while lifeguarding, you have had to fill out an incident report of some sort. This documentation is for medical and legal purposes, so it is essential that you are accurate and thorough. Confirm with the interviewer that you understand the importance of proper documentation and paperwork when an incident occurs.

"I have helped with about four incident reports this year, related to swimming accidents. My facilities manager completed the form, but I observed what she was documenting. I also contributed when I could as I was a key witness to each of these events. Proper forms ensure that we meet our legal and medical requirements."
