Investigation Saves Lives and Prevents Injury
Research shows that 250 employees are killed annually as a result of workplace accidents, and a further 150,000 are injured and are therefore absent from work (quoted directly from HSE website).
Accidents Cost!
Work related injuries cost companies on average £2.5 billion annually in the UK, due to workplace injury and absence.
An incident can be an accident (injury or fatality), fire, property or equipment damage or a near miss. If a incident occurs, you need to ensure that an efficient investigation is conducted to protect your company and your employee(s) involved. The investigation may also be used to meet the needs of the appropriate regulatory organisations and insurance company.
