Accident Investigation

Course Description:

As much as you try to prevent them, accidents at work happen. No matter what kind of accident you may be faced with at work, one of the most important things you can do after it happens is to investigate it and learn from the experience so it doesn’t happen again. This training session will cover everything you need to know about investigating accidents.

Why “Accident Investigation” Matters:

Experts say that 11 workers die on the job every day in the United States—and an additional 5 million are injured over the course of 1 year.

After every accident or incident, it’s important to thoroughly investigate why it happened.

Develop a plan and know what to include in it.

Proper accident investigation procedures will help prevent future accidents.
