“Many
businesses are still not gaining maximum benefit from their approach to the
investigation of accidents and incidents.
As a result, they are not learning the lessons which could improve their
overall management of health and safety.
Professional investigation can yield huge value, particularly by pinpointing
areas for change and development, thus cutting future casualties, costs and
appearances in court.
We hope the seminar will inform, challenge and motivate people to refocus on
accidents and incidents as valuable opportunities for safety change.” - Roger Bibbings, RoSPA Occupational Safety Adviser.--comments-->0--62339--5
