Incident Investigations: Workplace Health and Safety Training

Are you a safety committee member? Have you taken your annual entitlement of 8 hours yet? If you haven’t, consider joining our Incident Investigations course.

Our courses are facilitated and developed by peers – that is, folks who have worked in jobs like yours. We use activities, discussions and groupwork to help cement the information.

Investigations are a fundamental function and responsibility of supervisors and Joint Health and Safety Committees but they often don’t have the proper insight on how to conduct an effective investigation. This course will provide participants with the opportunity to improve their investigative skills, determine ‘root causes’ and develop effective recommendations.

In this course participants will:
-Find the new legal requirements for incident investigations
-Examine the principles of incident causation
-Plan how to conduct a proper investigation by gathering the facts
-Examine the results of a investigation and determine contributing factors and root causes
-Discuss how to prepare reports and develop effective corrective actions
-Conduct an incident investigation in class and put theory into practice

Audience:
OH&S Committee Members, Managers, Worker Representatives and Supervisors.
