Course Summary
An accident can be defined as a sudden, unplanned event that causes or could have caused harm to a person, environment, or property. Accidents can happen in any workplace, at anytime. Failure to properly investigate an accident and determine its root cause can be costly.
A proper investigation helps to measure the effectiveness of your company's health and safety program, reveal hazards that were not identified during workplace inspections, examine actual events, and reveal potential trends.
Our course is designed to provide managers, supervisors, and health and safety representatives with the information necessary to carry out their investigative duties effectively.
