Accident Investigation

Training Summary:

Workplace accidents are an unfortunate reality of the manufacturing sector, but by thoroughly investigating them when they do occur, we can better prepare for them in the future. In this course, participants learn to conduct detailed analyses of accidents in their facilities, and determine the different levels of responsibility that each employee bears when an accident occurs.

This session’s material also covers what employees should expect during the process of external accident investigations, and discusses the importance of complying with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIA) and Canada’s various Health and Safety committees. This course is crucial to manufacturing employees of all roles, departments, and industries for understanding what causes accidents, how they are addressed, and what we can learn from them.

Discussed Topics:

• Adhering to federal and provincial Health and Safety legislation.
• Responsibilities of employers, supervisors, and workers in preparing for and responding to workplace accidents.
