Workplace incident investigation

Duration: 41 minutes

Overview: This is an overview of the legislative requirements for incident reporting and investigation and the knowledge and practical advice to conduct an investigation successfully. In this course, we review the definitions of an incident, dangerous incident and serious illness or injury from a work health and safety perspective.

We then examine how to identify hazards and the impact they have had on the incident and who to notify and what to report when an incident occurs. Finally, we address how to conduct an incident investigation.

Why is this course important? The goal of every organisation is to achieve an outcome, typically the provision of goods or service. 

An important component of an organisation's success is its ability to achieve that goal in a consistent and reliable fashion. Incidents generally reduce an organisation's ability to achieve that goal. Incident management helps eliminate or reduce incidents in an organisation, while addressing moral, financial and legal reasons to investigate incidents.

Suitable for: All employees and managers.
