Accident Investigations: 5 Steps to Get to the Bottom of Things and Preserve Your Bottom Line
Accident Investigations Webinar Recording
OSHA requires you to investigate accidents that cause injury, but having an effective accident investigation process makes good business sense, too. Taking steps to prevent recurrence of an injury can increase production, reduce missed work days, and decrease workers’ compensation insurance costs.
Collecting and analyzing evidence, finding the root cause, and implementing corrective actions are not difficult tasks, but too few employers have an effective, consistent plan in place.
Join us for an in-depth webinar on July 11 and learn everything you need to know about drilling down to the root causes of workplace accidents.
You’ll learn:
- What root-cause analysis is, and how it works
- The key reasons you must conduct thorough accident investigations
- Why accident investigations often fail, and how to avoid common pitfalls
- The elements that all accidents have in common
- Why you need to pay attention to near-misses
- The value of the accident investigation team, and how to get the best people on it
- Tips for interviewing witnesses and the injured employee
- How the “5 whys” accident investigation process works
- Finding the root cause using cause-and-effect analysis
- How to develop and implement corrective action recommendations
