Effective Accident Investigation

Product: OC/269D

Description:

This programme utilises the same accident sequence shown in Effective Health and Safety Management, to look at why and how accidents are investigated. The objectives of the programme are; to identify all the causes of accidents and near misses especially the underlying causes, to come up with recommendations and to communicate and carry out a clear action plan to prevent them happening again.

The programme answers questions including:

• Do all accidents need to be investigated?
• What about near misses, should they be investigated too?
• How do you go about an accident investigation?
• What information do you need to collect?
• Who needs to be involved?
• What do you do once the causes of the accident have been uncovered?

The Principles of Accident Investigation

Product: OC/327D

There are laws and regulations that require the investigation and reporting of certain types of accidents. Insurance requirements also lead to many accident investigations as do potential claims at common law. However, from an occupational health and safety point of view, the main aim of this programme is not to fulfil these legal and insurance obligations, but to prevent recurrences of the same or similar accidents.

Accident Scene Investigation

Product: OC/336D

The programme brings an intensely practical accident investigation exercise to the training room giving your trainees the opportunity to practice safely.

By producing a filmed account of a real accident, shot in a real workplace and adding unique film-based interactivity, Outtakes has created a package that can be used to teach different elements of accident investigation depending on individual company values.

Accident Scene Investigation comprises of three main screens, each screen contains invisible buttons or hot-spots that when clicked reveal clues to the factors that caused and contributed to the accident. From the home screen you can trace back the events that led to the incident, from the photographic screen you can see close-ups of the physical evidence and the final screen allows views of witness statements.

Many trainers are already using the DVD to create engaging and practical accident investigation courses, each one with a slightly different approach.

Benefits of the programme include:

• Teaching accident investigation, root cause analysis and presenting a legal case
• Demonstrating the importance of behavioural safety and good communication
• A catalist for discussion about the company's mistakes

"Use of the DVD really makes the training session come alive. The characters are played very convincingly and I found that my trainees become fully engaged in the investigation process when they found they could access the photographs and witness statements." Jeff Roycroft, UK Health and Safety Manager, McCormick.
