Accident Investigation
What is Accident Investigation
Having a robust accident investigation process in your workplace is essential, and this should be a core part of your heath and safety protocol at work. When accidents occur, it is vital to be able to understand how and why so that you can prevent future incidents happening in the same way.
When should an accident be investigated?
An accident investigation should be carried out as soon as possible after an accident, finding out as much as possible about the accident and gathering critical information about the sequence of events that allowed this accident to occur. Your first concern should, of course, be the health and wellbeing of anyone involved in the accident.
An accident investigation process will be more robust and neutral if carried out by an independent party and this can help to prevent bias and ensure professionalism. An external accident investigation service can bring another level of expertise to the process, removing grey areas and providing reliable data to work from.
What does an accident investigation involve?
An accident investigation will involve interviewing witnesses, including anyone involved in the accident. It will also require you to look at the physical evidence of the incident and review any relevant procedures or documentation. The investigation aims to identify the root causes of the accident rather than simply highlighting immediate factors, to raise awareness of any underlying issues that increase risk in the workplace.
What is the purpose of an accident investigation?
A thorough accident investigation is intended to discover any areas in which your health and safety protocols could be improved to reduce risk and decrease the likelihood of similar accidents occurring in the future.
