Safety Incident Management and Investigation

Overview

Incidents are a fact of life in the modern workplace. How you manage those incidents is critical and can mean the difference between immediate issue resolution, a long-term compensation claim, or a work health and safety (WHS) prosecution. Actions made in the immediate aftermath of an incident may have critical legal consequences for your organisation. This course is designed to support managers and safety officers/coordinators understand the wider context of incident investigation, including the practical processes involved in effective incident management and follow up.
