The course is a combination of e-learning resources and live sessions to support you in fulfilling your committee representative role.
Training incident investigators in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) offers numerous benefits, including:
Effective Incident Management: Trained investigators have the skills and knowledge to conduct thorough and effective investigations following workplace incidents. This helps in understanding the root causes of incidents and implementing corrective actions to prevent their recurrence.
Prevention of Recurrence: By identifying root causes and contributing factors, incident investigators can recommend preventive measures to mitigate risks and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
Compliance: Proper incident investigation is often a legal requirement in many jurisdictions. Trained investigators ensure that investigations are conducted in compliance with regulatory standards, reducing the risk of non-compliance and potential penalties.
