Industrial accident reports range from slips, trips and falls, through manual handling incidents, to plant and machinery and construction hazards, systems of work analyses, examination of risk assessments and method statements, investigation of repetitive-type injuries, through to fatal and life changing injuries.
As investigators we dig deep into all investigations to find both the primary or underlying cause (root cause) of the accident and all contributory causes, what we do not do is assign blame.
Where the accident occurs advice on the review of Health & Safety Management system to meet the requirements of the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 is given.

Workplace Accident and Incident Investigation
Workplace accident investigations are designed to identify the root cause of workplace accidents to help prevent future accidents. Effective reporting should follow a standard format and may require the involvement of several people, depending on the severity of the accident/incident. The investigation team should be trained on how to conduct investigations, and complete and analyse accident investigation reports.
Reasons for investigating accidents
Accidents may be an indication that the safety program, workplace communication, training, supervision or work procedures are deficient. By finding the root cause, or multiple causes, of an accident, necessary improvements can be identified and made in the organisation. Investigations are not designed to blame an employee and it is essential that all workers understand this. Accidents typically have multiple root causes and only by investigation of the circumstances will these causes be identified for corrective action.
Examples of accidents that may need investigation include:
-
Injury, illness, or property damage —This includes when employees, contractors, and the general public are involved.
-
“Near misses” (cases when no injury, illness, or property damage occurred, but if conditions were slightly changed damage would be probable)

Roberto Foschi
Contracts Manager Alstom Power
Wayne was brought onboard to investigate 2 fatal injuries on Project in the Middle East. during that time he was a consumate professional, who showed the Project Management Team, how and why the incidents occurred and how to prevent further incidents, by delving deep into the cases and identifying a number of root causes and contributing causes. Wayne subsequently joined the team as a consultant and guided the PMT to successful completion of the project.
Wayne was commissioned following a number of high profile incidents and fatalities on one of our Mega Projects in Africa.
His commitment to identifying what went wrong, why it went wrong and how to correct the issues, was quickly realised by the multi-national site team. It was immediately clear to all, the client and the World Bank that Wayne was an essential asset and as such regularly continues to consult.
