Ready to become our new Business Consultant and drive the impact of our customer success?
The main goal of a prevention consultant is to keep the number of occupational accidents (and illnesses) as low as possible. However, if an occupational accident does occur, it is very important to prevent its recurrence.
An occupational accident investigation is necessary to determine how this incident could have been prevented.
This is the responsibility of the employer, but in practice is often done by the prevention department. How do you start?
To investigate an accident, one can either do a statistical study or an individual investigation. The statistical study is a collection of all relevant numerical data (time, place, department, age, location, type of injuries,…) and is useful for getting a clear picture of workplace incidents and accidents.
Here a division is also made between the statistics of light accidents, accidents that do not result in incapacity, accidents that result in incapacity, accidents that result in adapted work, serious accidents, very serious accidents, and homework accidents.
An individual examination is carried out with the help of a causal tree and the MUOPO method (Person-Equipment-Surroundings-Product-Organization).
In the case of a serious work accident, it is strongly recommended that you also physically examine the scene of the accident. This will allow you to gather the facts, photographic evidence, first-hand information from the victim, and other useful information.
If necessary, immediate action can also be taken to secure the surrounding area.
