A workbook for employers, unions, safety representatives and safety professionals

Every year people are killed or injured at work. Over 40 million working days are lost annually through work-related accidents and illnesses. This workbook gives organisations an opportunity to find out what went wrong. Learning the lessons and taking action may reduce, or even prevent, accidents in the future. As a step-by-step guide, it will help all organisations, particularly smaller businesses, to carry out their own health and safety investigations. Investigating accidents and incidents explains why you need to carry out investigations and takes you through each step of the process:

Step one: Gathering the information
Step two: Analysing the information
Step three: Identifying risk control measures
Step four: The action plan and its implementation
