Accident Mitigation

All employers have a duty to respond to every accident or incident in the right way, first time, every time and at all levels. Some incidents have a greater potential to escalate into a critical and sometimes fatal situation, this is because; irrespective of the quality of reaction time, quality of help and the management response to the incident can have a significant impact on the injured party, their family and the company who employs them.

Employers continue to comply with acts and regulations by providing information, training, instruction and supervision for their employees by attendance on internal or external courses, however, after the training event workplace accidents or incidents are not practiced to ensure that procedures are effective and reduce the risk of events turning “major” if a real time situation arises.

The effects of a workplace accident/incident on a employee, their family, the employer and the general public can be traumatic with the main impacts being:

• Loss of employee trust.
  
• Reluctance to report accidents/incidents within the workplace.
  
• Increased cost/time spent managing and recovering the situation.
  
• Loss of credibility within the employer’s specific sector.
  
• Fines and/or imprisonment for non compliance.
  
• Unwanted media attention.
  
• Potential loss of future works and removal from client frameworks.

The Solution

We can provide a pro-active external audit by staging workplace accidents/incidents to realistic bespoke situations and then to control, observe, de-brief and report their findings.

The staging of an accident/incident need not be time consuming ranging from 45 minutes to a full day dependant on the scenario required. Included in this would be the staging, de-brief and feedback.

A full report is produced with accompanying DVD, if required, which will assist in the following benefits

• Improves overall safety systems and legal compliance.
  
• Test the effectiveness of your management systems.
  
• Shows your employees that you are interested in them and committed to safety.
  
• Increased confidence gained by trained personnel within your organisation.
