What must a porter do when submitting a report on an accident?

When submitting a report on an accident, it is essential for the porter to give the condition of the place where the incident occurred. This information plays a critical role in understanding the circumstances surrounding the accident. By detailing the environmental aspects, such as the state of the tracks, lighting, weather, and any obstacles or hazards present, the report can provide valuable context that may have contributed to the incident. This level of detail helps in accurately assessing the situation and preventing future occurrences.

While witness statements, suggestions for improvements, and reports on delays may all be beneficial in some contexts, they are not the primary focus needed in the immediate aftermath of an accident. The condition of the location is vital for safety evaluations and subsequent investigations.
