During the recovery phase of product control, documentation of the incident is crucial. This phase focuses on collecting and organizing information regarding the incident to ensure that all actions taken are recorded for future analysis and compliance. Proper documentation helps to evaluate the effectiveness of the emergency response, provides insight into the sequence of events, and can serve as a reference for reviewing procedures and policies.

Documentation during this phase may include details of the response efforts, any mitigation techniques used, the status of the site, and the quantities of materials involved. This comprehensive record keeping is essential for post-incident analysis, legal considerations, and improving future responses.

The other options, while relevant to the overall incident management process, pertain to different phases of incident response. The size-up report is typically created in the initial stages of the incident to assess the situation and determine the appropriate response. Progress reports and conversations with CANUTEC (Canadian National Transportation Emergency Centre) are important during the operational phases but do not specifically represent actions taken in the recovery phase.
