About Course
Workplace accidents occur each and every day all around the world. Accident investigations determine how safety management system weaknesses create hazardous conditions and unsafe behaviors, and develops solutions to prevent similar accidents from occurring. By using the information gained through an investigation, a similar or perhaps more disastrous accident may be prevented. We should always conduct accident investigations with accident prevention in mind rather than establishing blame.
The Challenge
The challenge to any accident investigator is to report the findings in a well-thought-out manner to ensure management will ultimately adopt recommendations for improving its safety management system, thus solving problems long-term. It's a common struggle trying to overcome long-held perceptions about safety and how accidents occur.
This course introduces you to basic accident investigation procedures that have proven effective. We will also take a look at various accident analysis techniques.
