Incident and Accident Investigation Services
Accidents occur. They do not, however, need to be repeated. Our technical and clinical professionals at Zenith Safety Consultants collaborate with you to figure out what went wrong and why, so we can help you develop strategies, processes, and safeguards to prevent repeat occurrences.
Staff members' actions after an accident must focus on restoring safety and continuing normal operations, but the critical investigation work must be conducted independently, promptly, thoroughly, and according to best practices.
The Incident and Accident Investigation services team at Zenith Safety Consultants has the experience and expertise to perform an objective, detailed inquiry to unearth and document facts and put your facility on the right track.
The purpose of a workplace accident investigation is to determine the cause(s) of an accident and to identify any health and safety management system deficiencies. It enables for the implementation of preventative actions and the revision of management procedures to avoid recurrence.
Workplace accident investigation reports can also be utilized to defend an organization in court, as they demonstrate what is being done to actively try to prevent reoccurrences.
Investigations into serious accidents may include the following steps:
- Examination of the accident/incident scene and documentation of evidence
- Inspection of the accident/incident site's health and safety documentation
