Accident Investigations

We will provide support to an organisation in the event of an accident occurring. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) advocate a formal and structured approach to accident investigations in their publication HSG65 ‘Successful Health & Safety Management 1997’. In addition, carrying out investigations demonstrates a positive commitment towards achieving a safer working environment for an organisation.

Some of the benefits can be summarised as follows:

• Reduces the risk of further accidents/pain and suffering for the injured
• Less sickness and injury absence
• Improved efficiency/greater productivity/levels of performance
• Contributes towards general wellbeing of an organisation
• Improved morale
• Less stress
• Reduces staff turnover and consequent training costs
• Avoids attracting prosecution and/or civil claims for compensation
• Avoids adverse publicity/media attention
• Creates better customer confidence
• Less interference from enforcement agencies
• Compliance with legal requirements
