What we look at

What We Assess

  • The sequence of events leading to the incident
  • Immediate and underlying causes
  • Equipment, machinery, and work environment
  • Safe systems of work and procedures
  • Training and competency of those involved
  • Supervision and management oversight
  • Risk assessments and their adequacy
  • Previous similar incidents or near-misses
  • Human factors and organisational culture
  • Communication and information flow

How it works

Our Process

  1. 1

    Immediate Response

    When you call us, we provide immediate guidance on preserving evidence, securing the scene, and meeting any reporting obligations. For serious incidents, we can attend site the same day.

  2. 2

    Evidence Gathering

    We systematically collect evidence including photographs, measurements, documents, and physical items. We ensure evidence is properly preserved and documented for any subsequent proceedings.

  3. 3

    Witness Interviews

    We conduct structured interviews with witnesses, the injured person (if appropriate), supervisors, and managers. Our approach is thorough but sensitive, focusing on understanding what happened rather than apportioning blame.

  4. 4

    Root Cause Analysis

    We apply recognised techniques to identify not just what happened, but why it happened. We look beyond immediate causes to find the underlying system failures that allowed the incident to occur.

  5. 5

    Report & Recommendations

    We provide a comprehensive investigation report with clear findings and practical recommendations. Actions are prioritised by risk and designed to prevent recurrence.

Questions

Accident Investigation: Your Questions Answered

When should an accident be investigated?

All accidents and near-misses should be investigated, though the depth of investigation should be proportionate to the actual or potential severity. Serious incidents require thorough investigation; minor incidents may need only brief review. The key is to identify and address causes before a more serious incident occurs.

What is a RIDDOR reportable injury?

Specified injuries that must be reported include fractures (except to fingers, thumbs and toes), amputations, serious burns, loss of consciousness, and injuries requiring hospital treatment for more than 24 hours. Any injury causing more than 7 consecutive days off work must also be reported.

How quickly can you respond?

We understand that time is critical after an incident. We can provide immediate telephone guidance and, for serious incidents, can usually attend site the same day or next day. Call us as soon as possible after an incident occurs.

What is root cause analysis?

Root cause analysis goes beyond the immediate cause of an incident to identify the underlying failures in systems, processes, or culture that allowed it to happen. By addressing root causes, you prevent not just this incident recurring, but other incidents with similar underlying causes.

Should we wait for the HSE before investigating?

No. You should begin your own investigation promptly while evidence is fresh. If the HSE is investigating, we can advise on how to conduct your internal investigation appropriately and how to work constructively with the HSE inspector.
