Accident and Incident Investigation

Accident and Incident Investigation Training Courses

Accidents happen in the workplace and in order to ascertain the actual cause of the accident, how to avoid such an event in the future and know how to compensate workers (in some cases) investigations have to be carried out professionally. Thorough inspections of all systems and an in depth understanding of systems and processes within the business is essential. In order for accident and incident investigation processes to go ahead with successful results, they must be carried out by individuals who have been trained in the field. At MAKROSAFE, we offer such courses for employees.

Our accident and incident investigation training is a one day course that trains individuals to be able to carry out investigations into workplace safety, health and environmental incidents with relative ease. The course itself is aligned to unit standards and those who attend it will be assessed on the outcomes of a knowledge assignment. Successful completion of the course will also rely on compiling a portfolio of evidence to prove that the acquired knowledge can be effectively applied and used within the workplace.

Once the course is completed, the employee will be able to do the following:

  • Understand and explain the various legal and organisational requirements that regulate the reporting and investigation of health, safety and environmental incidents that occur within the workplace.
  • Process physical evidence collected during investigations.
  • Follow the correct procedures to investigate an incident.
  • Conduct post investigation activities.
  • Compile the various required reports to present the investigation professionally to the management members.

Those who attend our MAKROSAFE accident and incident investigation course can expect to be involved in facilitator presentations, readings and research, individual activities and group discussions. Attendees will also be required to participate in skill application exercises to prove that the learned skills can be used immediately. All of our students are strongly encouraged and advised to apply themselves from the very first moment of training to ensure that they achieve the best possible outcome. Understanding how to conduct the incident investigations that they will be faced with will certainly ensure that the task is easier to carry out and that the job will be one that is well done.
