Risk Management

A legitimate workplace accident can arise from a motor vehicle collision, repetitive strain injury, environmental event that leads to an employee injury requiring medical treatment and time off. Once an incident occurs and the employer is notified, immediate and critical actions are necessary. It's to promptly gather key information about the incident, injury, or occupational illness to ensure optimal claim outcomes. Additionally, any relevant footage from cameras, surveillance or equipment involved should be preserved as evidence, especially if a third party is involved.

Dedicated Reporting Procedure

Even before an incident occurs, you can do a great deal to prepare by having a dedicated procedure in place for a work-place injury.

Third Party

From an investigative perspective, this is the perfect time to collect statements and carry out inquiries without hindering or postponing medical care

Witness information is current, and the worker's memory tends to be more precise. Conducting an investigation shortly after an accident can often give the employer valuable insights to enhance workplace safety.

Employee File

The significance of a thoroughly documented employee file cannot be overstated in the context of an investigation.

First Reporting Procedure

Consider incorporating the collection of evidence and tools into your company's protocols within the "first reporting procedure."
