Accident Investigation

Organisations have made progress in getting to grips with risk assessment but many are still failing to gain maximum benefit from their approach to the investigation of accidents. Consequently, they are still failing to learn vital lessons, which could help them improve their overall management of health and safety.

It is now a legal requirement for employers to investigate accidents and the The Health and Safety Executive has stated that:

‘adequately investigating the immediate and underlying causes of incidents and accidents to ensure that remedial action is taken, lessons are learnt and longer term objectives are introduced’.

Here at First Health and Safety our experienced consultants can assist you in the investigation process to enable analysis and evaluation of all the significant causes - immediate, underlying and root. 

Our Consultants will then be able to identify risk control measures that were missing, inadequate or unused, and compare conditions/practices with what is required by legal requirements, codes of practice and guidance. Our Consultants will remain objective and unbiased to provide recommendations that will best prevent any further recurrence.
