Accident investigation training has helped our sites and business focus on accident investigations in trying to reduce the cost of claims and insurance through improved defensibility. I would therefore not hesitate in recommending accident investigation training to other businesses in the food industry and other sectors
The accident investigation training involves analysis of accident investigations completed by an organisation in the last 12 months, highlighting good and inadequate investigations. This analysis of real-life examples will help attendees focus on existing deficiencies when conducting and completing accident investigations and ensure future investigations are completed appropriately.
An explanation of the civil legal duties upon employers, the civil litigation process and the stages that the parties will have to go through prior to a trial.
The importance of contemporaneous and thorough accident investigations and how this can influence an ultimate Court ruling.
An awareness of the claims management process and the impact of claims on an organisation.
Develop and consolidate the existing knowledge of managers and individuals responsible for health and safety, claims and insurance and determine how previous investigations would withstand present day scrutiny by claims lawyers and what changes would be required to improve.
An understanding of how to identify improvements in policies, procedures and claims-related documentation.
An appreciation of the need for contemporaneous accident investigations, recording evidence to support a successful defence and the need to implement recommendations.
An appreciation of the how improvements in documentation and effective accident investigation can impact the cost of claims and insurance premiums upon an organisation.
An understanding of the need to improve an organisation’s ability to make early decisions on liability and save costs where claims cannot be defended.
The training will teach the attendees the important practical steps they need to follow when undertaking accident investigations, to ensure that important evidence is not overlooked and to improve learnings that can be taken from post incident investigations. It will also enhance an organisation's ability to defend civil compensation claims and avoid regulatory enforcement action.
Directors, senior leadership teams, operational managers, professionals from the finance, insurance, in-house legal and claims, HR, health and safety functions and individuals in a business who are responsible for investigating accidents.
NB. It is recommended that this training be delivered together with the EL Mock Trial, as the review of the accident reports will include relevant key learning points from this Mock Trial.
