incident investigation
A general duty of care is imposed upon persons conducting businesses or undertakings to provide a safe and healthy workplace and systems of work. Investigating workplace accidents and incidents allows you to comply with your duty of care and to identify hazards and risks to prevent recurrence of unwanted events.
Accidents and incidents are unplanned and unwanted workplace events. Accidents are described as unplanned events causing harm or damage to people, plant, equipment or the environment, while incidents are described as unplanned events that did not cause but had the potential to harm people, plant, equipment or the environment. Often, the term incident is used to describe both accidents and incidents.
There is seldom one cause of accidents and incidents, rather a combination of complex and interrelated actions and events called root causes. Incident investigation processes should include a Root Cause Analysis tool to identify ALL possible causal factors. Identification and evaluation of the root causes guides the selection and application of corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
All health and safety jurisdictions in Australia have mandatory reporting requirements for notifiable incidents. Notifiable incident reporting requirements detail what incident must be reported, how, to whom and in what time frame.
PJL WHS Consultants are experienced in conducting complex incident investigations and root cause analyses. Our consultants can help you develop and implement an incident investigation and root cause analysis system for your workplace. Alternatively, you can engage one of our consultants to conduct third party independent investigations and root cause analyses.
