Explanation:

1. For "Having the injured person’s photo is critical.": Incident reports focus on details like time, date, location, facts, not typically photos of the injured. So answer is No.
2. For "Always include the time and date of the incident.": Time and date are essential details for incident reports to establish context. So answer is Yes.
3. For "It’s okay if you don’t know exactly where the employee was injured.": Location of injury is important for incident reports to understand the event. So answer is No.
4. For "If you think you know the weak link, you should add it to the report.": Incident reports should be factual, not include assumptions like "weak link". So answer is No.
5. For "You should list everyone who was on the investigation team.": Incident reports usually focus on the incident, not the investigation team members (unless relevant, but generally not a standard inclusion). So answer is No.
6. For "If management is to blame, definitely add that to the report.": Incident reports should be objective and factual, not assign blame subjectively. So answer is No.
7. For "If you don’t know an eye witness’s cell phone number, you don’t have to add it.": If the number is unknown, it can't be added, so this is correct. Answer is Yes.
8. For "If you’re not comfortable signing your name, just leave it blank.": Incident reports require proper authorization/signature for accountability. So answer is No.
