Accident Investigations
Planning an Accident?
Accidents and injuries are unacceptable and should be viewed as 100% avoidable. In the event that an accident does occur, a thorough analysis should yield corrective measures to ensure that the same accident never occurs again. There is never a plan to have an accident, but there should a plan to investigate.
Who’s Job is it?
Workplace safety is everyone’s job. Management must ensure that the workplace is free of recognized hazards, and everyone is responsible for following the company’s safety and health rules. A thorough accident and incident investigation program in combination with effective safety management systems will greatly reduce accidents and incidents and eventually result in a zero accident state.
A Zero Accident State?
If adequate resources are provided to accident prevention and medical management services, and accidents and near misses are properly addressed, an organization has the potential to reach a zero accident state.
