Description:

This full-day course is designed to provide attendees with the necessary skills and resources to successfully conduct an accident investigation with fact finding and revealing basic root causes of such incidents.

Successful accident investigations can accomplish many things; reduce company liability and regulatory agency impacts, discover management system failures, improve workplace conditions, protect physical assets and most importantly prevent recurrence of human pain and suffering. Properly executed accident investigations do not seek fault, but facts – root causes, not blame.
 
Using real-world examples and interactive practice scenarios, attendees will learn the following:

• Evidence: How to preserve and manage
• Witness Statements: How to obtain and improve their quality
• Photography: Best practices for useful photos
• Root Cause Analysis: Basic approaches and getting into the proper RCA “mindset”
• Report Writing: The Good, The Bad and the Useless
• Agency and Media Interactions: Pitfalls and what to expect
• Legal Ramifications: How to avoid worse-case scenarios
• Steps to Prevention: Meaningful and effective

The full-day course is specifically designed for managers, supervisors and safety professionals who deal directly with site operations, employees and regulatory agencies.  Attendees will leave with worksheets and guidance materials that can be utilized immediately upon return to their sites.
