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.
