Accident Investigation

Any accidents suffered at work should be investigated to determine the causes and ensure that they cannot happen again. The results of the investigation may prove useful when defending any action taken by enforcement authorities, or defending against compensation claims.

The process involved in investigating serious accidents may involve:

• Examination of the area where the accident took place (including taking measurements, photographs etc.)
• Examining documentation relevant to the accident
• Taking witness statements
• Preparing a full report identifying the root causes of the accident and any recommendations required.

Serious accidents also have to be reported to the Health & Safety Executive.

Phoenix Health & Safety can assist with any accident investigation.

Please note that accident investigation can also be covered as part of our annual support contracts.
