8-4 ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
PRACTICE STATEMENT: The person that does the reporting provides detailed
information.
PRACTICE DESCRIPTION: If all of the requested data is not available, the
person who is reporting the information provides the most complete
information as possible.
8-5 CHANGES IN REPORTING FORMAT
PRACTICE STATEMENT: The requested information may change.
PRACTICE DESCRIPTION: It is possible that the necessary additional or
different data for the evaluation process may change the requested
information. In this case, it may be necessary to revise the report to adapt to
the changes in the regulations or statutes, the evolution of industry technology,
and the awareness of root causes as needed.
8-6 SIMPLE PROCESS FOR COLLECTING DATA
PRACTICE STATEMENT: A simple one-page form for collecting data is
adopted..
PRACTICE DESCRIPTION: If possible, limit the reporting form to a simple
single page. This form should contain a list of standardized questions. Facility
owners/operators, locators, ground disturbers, and other appropriate
stakeholders will adopt or develop this list of questions. On the form, limiting
the number of hand-written responses required makes it easier to answer the
questions. As well, using check boxes or other simple answering techniques will
help the person filing a report and make the evaluation process much simpler.
All anonymous data collected will be uploaded for geographical and general
assessment & analysis.
A sample Damage Information Reporting Tool data collection form can be found
in appendix C.
