Exposure what form?

Explanation:
Documenting exposure events uses an Exposure Incident Form. An exposure incident is when someone could have been exposed to a hazardous substance or infectious material, so the form is designed to capture all the details of that event—date and time, location, who was involved, what substance or material was involved, the route of exposure (contact, splash, needle-stick, etc.), the circumstances leading up to it, immediate actions taken, and any medical follow-up or reporting required. This focused form supports post-exposure procedures, tracking, and evaluating safety controls. The other forms don’t fit as precisely: an Injury Report Form is used for injuries after they occur, not the exposure itself; an Exposure Control Form is about planning and managing controls to prevent exposure, not recording the incident; a Safety Incident Form is broader and not specific to exposure events.
