Workplace Inspections/Incident Investigation

Inadequate housekeeping leads to approximately 70% of workplace incidents. A planned workplace inspection is one of the best ways to identify and correct problems before an incident occurs. Proactive safety programs reduce loss and improve productivity. By the end of the day, you will be able to understand the role of inspections in a health and safety program, describe how proper planning and preparation are key ingredients to successful inspection, and discuss and understand the importance of follow-up.

Participants will also gain the knowledge to conduct thorough workplace incident investigations. This course presents realistic recommendations during interactive case studies, which will help reduce or eliminate incidents and contribute to a safer, healthier workplace.
