Accident Investigation Training Introductory/Refresher Course

Accidents and incidents can cause serious harm to people and are common at work. They can happen even if everyone involved is working safely. An important part of managing safely is understanding how to respond to and investigate workplace incidents.

Investigations should include the human factors involved so that measures can be put in place to prevent a recurrence of an incident and stop it from happening again. The accident investigation process is essential in ensuring that a workforce is protected from harm and that an organisation meets the legal requirements set out by health and safety law.

Who is this course for?

This online learning course provides an introduction to incident investigation and shows how non-complex incidents can be investigated effectively. It is suitable for managers and supervisors who are responsible for implementing and monitoring risk control measures at work.

Overview

Statistics from the HSE (Health and Safety Executive), the UK's health and safety regulator, report that 561,000 people sustained an injury at work during 2022/23. The process of accident investigation is an important tool in occupational safety.
