Accident Investigation

Accident Investigation

Why do you need a health and safety consultant to investigate a workplace accident?

Accidents and near misses can happen anytime, leading to serious consequences. A serious incident normally results in distress and anxiety for business owners and their employees. Furthermore, some serious accidents may require a RIDDOR report to be completed and sent to the HSE.

Preventing future accidents

The only way to ensure that another similar workplace incident does not happen is to conduct a thorough accident investigation. Read on to find out how we can help you investigate an accident the right way.

It’s not just the accident book

An incident investigation is not as simple as completing a form in the accident book and filing it away. An accident investigation will examine the root causes and provide a comprehensive plan to prevent another accident. An investigation by a competent health and safety professional will also benefit your company and prevent future RIDDOR reports or personal claims.

Working Together

We work with you and your team to conduct accident investigations focusing on root causes. Our incident investigations aim not to blame people but to understand the actions or decisions that led to the presence of risk in the first place.

Our Accident Investigation Services

Incident Scene Review

Our on-site experts review workplace accident scenes, collecting crucial data and evidence to support our investigations.  Methods such as photos and measurements will be taken, as well as looking at specific times of day and operational peaks and troughs.

Documentation Review

Our team reviews relevant documents to identify potential contributing factors, including accident book entries, accident investigation forms, safety procedures, training records, RIDOOR Reports, witness reports, Accident Claims, and maintenance logs.

Root Cause Analysis

We go beyond the surface-level factors generally covered in an accidentbook entry to identify the root causes of incidents and address systemic issues contributing to workplace accidents.

Witness Interviews

We conduct sensitive interviews with eyewitnesses to gather detailed firsthand accounts and learn more about the events leading up to the accident. Speaking with those who were present and involved enables us to carefully piece together the events that preceded the workplace accident.

Workplace Accident Reporting and Recommendations

Our comprehensive reports provide a clear overview of our findings and actionable recommendations to improve your organisation’s safety protocols. And if you need to report a RIDDOR incident, then we can help you with that, too.

Liaison with Enforcement Officers

Dealing with enforcement officers and regulatory bodies can worry business owners. At Terra Firma 360, we can support you in RIDDOR reporting, liaising with enforcement officers and navigating the regulatory landscape, ensuring compliance, and supporting effective communication between all parties involved.

Comprehensive Accident Investigation

Our team of experienced health and safety professionals follows a systematic and thorough approach to accident investigation. We delve deep into the root causes of incidents, considering both immediate factors and underlying issues to provide a comprehensive analysis.

Regulatory Compliance

Navigating the complex landscape of health and safety regulations can be challenging. Different challenges, such as RIDDOR and Personal Injury claims, can be a daunting experience when dealing with them.  Our experts are well-versed in UK health and Safety legislation and standards. Ensure that your investigations identify your areas of compliance and non-compliance and what you need to do to fix them.

Focus on workplace accident prevention

Understanding the various factors that contribute to workplace accidents is crucial. By gaining insights into these factors, we can collaborate with you to develop and implement effective measures to manage risks and foster a safer environment for all individuals involved.

Root Cause Analysis

We don’t just stop at identifying the immediate cause of an accident; it doesn’t stop at an entry in your accident book. We dig down to uncover underlying factors that contributed to the incident. By understanding the root causes, we can recommend targeted interventions to prevent similar accidents in the future.
