Course Description
introduction
Despite our best efforts, accidents and incidents can still occur, potentially disrupting business operations. These unplanned events can lead to work-related injuries, occupational illnesses, property damage, spills, and fires. To ensure a proactive approach to safety, it is crucial for all incidents to be thoroughly investigated as part of an effective Safety Management System (SMS). The more serious the incident, the more comprehensive the investigation required.
Even minor incidents or near-misses demand thorough investigation, as they may reveal significant potential risks that, if left unaddressed, could lead to more serious incidents. While the causes of accidents may seem obvious, underlying factors often contribute in ways that are not immediately apparent. Participating in this health & safety training course on Advanced Strategies for Effective Accident Investigation and Reporting will equip you with the confidence and expertise to conduct thorough and professional accident investigations promptly after an event occurs.
