Past HSE research suggested for every \u00a31 you got back from your insurance company, there was anywhere between \u00a38 \u2013 36 uninsured cost. That might be the difference between staying in business or going under. \u00a0<\/p><p>Carrying out your own health and safety investigations will provide you with a deeper understanding of the risks associated with your work activities. Blaming individuals is ultimately fruitless and sustains the myth that accidents are unavoidable when the opposite is true.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, when an incident occurs too many are blinded by immediate causes. For example, \u201cwe gave him the training, but he ignored it\u201d. To dig deeper and really establish the root cause you need to find out why the training was ignored. Were they trained but then not given the right equipment; or were there inadequate maintenance systems in place for correctly selected equipment; or had any custom and practice developed amongst the workforce or supervisors such that training was ignored; was the training just a \u2018bums on seats\u2019 exercise without actually checking those attending actually understood and could apply what they were being taught?\u00a0<\/p><p>I appreciate that for smaller businesses investigation might be something they\u2019ve never had to do before or very infrequently, but don\u2019t worry as there is plenty of guidance out there to help. HSE has published a very helpful workbook aimed at employers, unions, safety representatives and safety professionals &#8211; HSG 245 Investigating accidents and incidents (available free to download at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\">www.hse.gov.uk<\/a>).<\/p><p>An effective investigation requires a methodical, structured approach to information gathering, collation and analysis and the workbook sets out a straightforward 4-stage process to help you achieve this. The findings of the investigation should then form the basis of your action plan to prevent the accident or incident from happening again and for improving your overall management of risk. Your findings will also point to areas of your risk assessments that need to be reviewed.<\/p><p>It can be quite uncomfortable for an employer to look at themselves in this way but if you do not and don\u2019t learn necessary lessons then you risk incidents occurring again and again. Indeed, how can anyone claim they are really running and managing their business if they do not properly investigate and learn lessons?<\/p><p>As an ex-HSE Inspector I should point out that once the HSE are involved in an accident investigation they will be looking at underlying and root causes. It\u2019s far better to do so yourselves, learn lessons, implement improvements and avoid further incidents.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c98e15 elementor-author-box--layout-image-left elementor-author-box--align-left elementor-author-box--image-valign-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"0c98e15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nofallsfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ray-Cooke-300x300.png\" alt=\"Ray Cooke\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">Ray Cooke<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ray recently retired after 35 years with the Health and Safety Executive, finishing his career as Principal Inspector in charge of the construction division\u2019s sector safety team.
