OVERVIEW

About this course.

Accidents happen in every workplace, from offices and shops to construction sites, factories and care homes. When they do, what an organisation does next matters enormously. Recording the event accurately, reporting it to the right people, and investigating why it happened are not box-ticking exercises; they are how harm is understood, how the law is met, and how the same accident is prevented fro.

You will learn what counts as an accident, incident, near miss or dangerous occurrence, how to complete the accident book and comply with data protection, what is reportable under RIDDOR and how to report it, and how to investigate properly using root-cause analysis so that the same thing does not happen again.
