The traditional approaches to occupational health and safety aim to alter the behaviour of employees to prevent workplace accidents and incidents. However, the modern methodology has influenced safety professionals to have a more comprehensive overview of workplace health and safety, which typically encompasses the entire organisation, from operations to staff and supervisors, as well as management systems. This course deals with the crucial connection among the diverse employee roles in an organization and looks deeply into the contribution of each role in preventing an accident or incident.

Even with the best possible safety considerations, accidents can still happen. These unexpected events can dramatically impact the performance of an organization, including its business operations and can result in illnesses, injuries, spills, fires and property damage. All such incidents require detailed investigations that represent the effectiveness and efficiency of processes in alignment with the Safety Management System (SMS). Depending on the severity of the incident, the investigations should be strengthened.

Apart from major accidents/incidents, a comprehensive investigation is also demanded for even a minor accident or near miss. This is because these minor events possess the potential to result in a devastating incident in the future if the conditions are overlooked. There can be several reasons behind an accident/incident; however, we can't always expect them to be apparent.

The Certified Senior Accident / Incident Investigator e-learning course improves the skills and confidence of learners to carry out a professional and detailed Accident Investigation.

This course is split into 2 units and meticulously covers the best practices to be taken for an effective accident/incident investigation.

Unit 1 – Introduction to Accident / Incident Investigation Principles

1 Health & Safety
2 Accident /Incident
3 Cause of Accident
4 Reasons for investigating accidents
