Accident Causation and Investigation

Compliance Key INC - HR Checklists Training
Overview
Accidents can cause an organization to lose valued resources including productivity and resources. In order to pay for costs related to accidents, the employer will have to divert profits to cover direct and indirect costs of the accident.
Why should you attend this webinar?
The study of accident causation and investigation is imperative to protecting an employer from human loss and organizational losses. Liberty Mutual records that billions of dollars are lost to accidents each year because of accidents. Many workplace accidents are also related to OSHA violations. Therefore, the accident can cost even more by adding the price of an OSHA citation. 
In the fiscal year 2015, 4,836 workers were killed from work-related accidents, which equates to more than 13 deaths every day. Conditions that cause accidents are hazardous to the workers. Employers must investigate accidents and their causes to protect their company. 
Incidents and accidents are often used synonymously when describing a loss event. However, an incident is a near miss and may include an accident, but an accident involves a loss. An incident investigation which includes a root cause analysis will prevent and predict accidents and incidents.
Areas Covered in the Session:
In the accident causation and investigation, the team will conduct a detailed procedure for discovering the root cause of the accident. The root cause goes beyond "operator error" and "equipment failure". All incidents, including near misses, must be reported and investigated to prevent injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in the workplace. However, not all employers have developed the skills needed to conduct an effective accident investigation. 

Additionally, the commitment to the incident investigation will have additional benefits to the organization such as: 
  • Demonstrate a commitment to safety and health
  • Promote positive workplace morale
  • Prevent illness and injuries
  • Save Lives
  • Save money
  • Improve management
Learning how to investigate an incident takes special skills, training, and discipline. The intent for investigations should never be to place blame, but to find the root cause of the incident. An employee must feel that they are a part of the investigation and not a suspect. 
Who can Benefit:
  • Human Resources
  • CEOs
  • Plant Managers
  • Occupational Safety Professionals
  • Insurance Agents
  • Risk Managers
  • Front-line Supervisors
  • Vice Presidents of Operation
  • Compliance and Safety Officers
