Report of Bridge Accident Caused by Water-Borne Traffic: This three-page report documents any mishaps or accidents involving the bridge structure and marine vessels.

Bridge Information: Each bridge needs to maintain its own list of emergency phone numbers for police, fire, and rescue agencies. As a matter of consideration, it is also recommended that other public service agencies, such as mass transit, be kept informed when the bridge is closed to vehicular traffic due to electrical/mechanical malfunctions.

Bridge Tender Shift-Change Checklist: When one bridge tender relieves another, this form is used to document the exchange of information regarding bridge problems, malfunctions, or deficiencies.

Bridge Tender Safety Equipment Checklist: Used by the bridge tender supervisor to maintain the appropriate safety equipment on each bridge in good working order.

Report of Drawbridge Openings: The primary bridge documentation report, this form is used to log the date, time, direction, weather conditions and name of every vessel accommodated by the bridge.
