Commercial Elevator Entrapment Incident Report

When an elevator entrapment occurs in a commercial building, immediate and thorough documentation is critical for safety compliance, insurance claims, and regulatory reporting. This Commercial Elevator Entrapment Incident Report template helps building managers, facility teams, and property management companies capture every essential detail from the moment an incident occurs.

Built for property managers, facility directors, and safety officers in commercial real estate, this template guides you through recording passenger information, injury details, elevator maintenance history, emergency response times, and witness statements. The form's conditional logic ensures you capture injury-specific information only when needed, while required fields guarantee you never miss critical compliance data.
