Plan The Work - Work The Plan!
When a serious accident occurs in the workplace, everyone will be too busy dealing with the emergency at hand to worry about putting together an accident response and investigation plan.
Plan The Work - Work The Plan!
The best time to develop the plan and its procedures is before the accident occurs.
The accident response and investigation plan should include as a minimum, the following procedures:
- Notifying company supervisors and managers that an accident has occurred
- Notifying outside agencies (fire, EMTs, police, OSHA, etc.) that an accident has occurred
- Appointing employees, supervisors, and managers who will conduct accident investigation
- Instructing and training accident response and investigation procedures to responders, investigators, supervisors, and managers
- Conducting accident investigation corrective actions
- Reviewing, analyzing, and improving accident investigation procedures
