Accident Investigation
Finding the cause of accidents and incidents and acting upon them will eliminate or reduce the possibility of them re-occurring and can have a huge benefit on many aspects of a business including;
- Increased moral and reduction in staff turn around
- Reduction in sick leave
- Reduction in claims
- Reduced risk of prosecution
- Promoting a positive Health and Safety culture
But most importantly it helps to ensure that you and your employees are safe and free from harm.
In the event an accident occurring Bridge Safety and Training Ltd can offer a reactive monitoring and workplace accident investigation service. The results gathered from the investigation could be helpful in defending your organisation should you be facing action from enforcement authorities or a compensation claim.
Reactive Monitoring is carried out after an accident occurs. It allows you to identify the causes of the accident and how to prevent the accident from taking place again which could result in injuries, illness, financial loss or property/equipment damage.
Workplace Accident Investigation is used to determine the cause of an accident and identify any failures of the health and safety management system. It allows measures to be put into place and management procedures to be amended in order to prevent re-occurrences.
Workplace accident investigation reports may be used to defend any legal action against your organisation as they show that you are actively trying to reduce the possibility of re-occurrences.
The process involved in investigating serious accidents may involve:
- Inspection of the accident/incident location and recording of evidence
- Inspection of site health and safety documentation in relation to the accident/incident
- Taking witness statements
- Interviewing injured parties
- Preparing a full report identifying the root causes of the accident/incident and any recommendations required.
Bridge Safety and Training Ltd can carry out the workplace accident investigation and report on any accidents or incidents in compliance with the RIDDOR regulations on your behalf.
