Course Overview

Regulatory Training: Incident Investigation trains individuals to identify and explain the legal and organization-specific requirements that govern the reporting and investigation of all workplace incidents.”

Reporting an incident is an important part of an effective occupational health and safety program. It helps identify work related health and safety hazards, risks and dangers.

An incident investigation is normally performed to find out what happened, why it happened, and to prevent it from happening again. The same innovative approach is demonstrated through the stipulations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. In accordance with the Act, the employer, or user of machinery, must formally investigate all section 24 incidents. 

Participants attending the training will be gaining proficiency in drafting the necessary reports and managing any tangible evidence that has been gathered.

This 1 day training course is aligned to SAQA Unit Standard 259617
