This Accident Investigation Training course is for employers and managers who are responsible for investigating accidents. It covers legal responsibilities, the benefits of investigations, how to determine the scale of different investigations, and how to carry them out.
Employers are legally responsible for making sure that control measures are in place to reduce the chances of an accident happening at work. If an accident does happen, it could be a sign that control measures need improving to reduce the chances of it happening again. Accidents need to be avoided as far as reasonably practicable, but it’s key to learn from them if they do happen, so you can adapt and improve workplace safety. This is what makes accident investigation so important. In this course, we define what a workplace accident is and we explore how to discover the root cause of accidents, we discuss your legal responsibilities and what to do immediately after an accident, and we explore how to carry out an effective accident investigation, including how to determine the scale of the investigation.
