LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Supervisors play a key role in accident investigations for employees who are injured on the job. The purpose of an accident investigation is to prevent the recurrence of the accident. The focus should be on the accident, not the injury. Unfortunately, too often, the investigation process is limited to the necessary insurance paperwork.

Accident investigations are critical in identifying, controlling and eliminating workplace health and safety risks. For an accident investigation to be effective it needs to be structured and systematic. It also needs to be performed by trained employees who can maintain an open mind about the causes of an accident throughout the investigation. These are fundamental requirements of an accident investigation.

The primary learning objectives of this workshop are to:

Understand the value of and need for accident investigation.
Obtain the practical supervisory skills to conduct quality accident investigations.
Understand the critical role of the supervisor in the accident investigation and reporting process.
Learn how to determine the root cause(s) of accidents and develop accident prevention action.
Understand the CIRMA claims management function and how investigations are critical to their success.
