Accident Investigation Seminar
Learning from safety failure
Whether you are a senior director in a high performing company, an experienced health and safety professional, or a highly trained safety representative there will be numerous ways in which you can help to improve your organisation’s approach to learning from prevention failure. This event is designed to inform, challenge and motivate you to re-focus on accidents and incidents as valuable opportunities for safety change.
Although many businesses have got to grips with risk assessment (looking forwards to anticipate and prevent harm before it occurs), many are still failing to gain maximum benefit from their approach to the investigation of accidents and incidents.
Consequently, they are still failing to learn vital lessons, which could help them improve their overall management of health and safety.
New guidance published by the Health and Safety Executive in July, challenges all organisations to review how well they are complying with their duties to investigate and to learn from accidents and incidents.
The aftermath of an accident or incident is never a comfort zone for anyone but professional investigation of such events can yield huge value, particularly by pinpointing areas for change and development, thus cutting future casualties, costs and appearances in court.
