A practical one-day course that gives managers and supervisors a systematic method for investigating workplace accidents, finding the real causes and putting in controls that stop them happening again.
Accident investigation training teaches a systematic way to investigate workplace accidents and near misses: gathering the facts, working out the immediate and underlying causes, and deciding the controls that will prevent a repeat. KeyOstas delivers it in one day at your premises.
It is for the people who are, or will be, asked to investigate when something goes wrong.
By the end of the day, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Explain how injury, damage and near-miss events are linked, using the domino theory and accident ratios.
Analyse an accident to identify the unsafe acts and conditions that triggered it.
Dig past the immediate cause to the underlying management and organisational failures.
Use open questioning techniques to gather accurate information without leading or blaming.
Suggest precautionary and preventative measures that address the real causes.
Apply the right level of resource and effort to an investigation in proportion to the risk.
Know what must be reported under RIDDOR, and to whom, and within what time.
Maintain investigation records and share the lessons learned across the organisation.
One day of structured content built around a real accident-causation case study.
Practical and discussion-led, worked through real scenarios.
A KeyOstas tutor delivers the day at your premises, and your own incident procedures can be built in.
There is no written exam. Delegates apply the method to case studies and discuss their findings.
Every delegate receives a KeyOstas certificate of attendance on completion.
