Jet Ski Rental Near Miss & Incident Report Form

Operating a jet ski rental business means prioritizing safety on the water—and that includes documenting every near miss, close call, and potential hazard before they escalate into serious incidents. This Jet Ski Rental Near Miss & Incident Report Form gives marine recreation operators a professional, Coast Guard–compliant way to capture critical details about collision events, operator behavior, intoxication concerns, and equipment issues in real time.

Whether you're running a seasonal rental operation, managing a marina, or overseeing water sports at a resort, this template helps you meet regulatory requirements while building a safer environment for renters and staff. The form collects witness statements, environmental conditions, operator details, and photographs—giving you a complete record that can inform training, reduce liability, and demonstrate due diligence to insurers and authorities.

Built for water sports operators, marina managers, and hospitality teams who need fast, mobile-friendly incident capture that works from the dock, this form integrates seamlessly with your safety protocols. You can embed it on your booking site, share it via QR code at the rental counter, or access it instantly from a tablet during end-of-rental inspections.

Once submitted, use Stepper to automate your response workflow—notify your safety officer, log incidents in your tracking spreadsheet, escalate serious events to management, and trigger follow-up tasks like equipment inspection or staff retraining. Pair the form with Papersign if you need witness statements or acknowledgment forms signed digitally as part of your incident documentation.

Paperform's conditional logic ensures the right questions appear based on incident severity, operator condition, and whether Coast Guard notification is required—keeping your team focused on what matters while maintaining compliance with maritime safety regulations.
