Investigative assessments
Investigative Assessments in occupational health and safety refer to detailed examinations conducted to investigate specific incidents, health concerns, or potential hazards in the workplace. This process involves gathering and analyzing data, conducting interviews, inspecting work areas, reviewing records, and performing tests or measurements as necessary. The assessment aims to
identify the root causes of incidents or health issues, assess compliance with regulations and standards, and recommend corrective actions to prevent recurrence and improve workplace safety.
Conducting Investigative Assessments is crucial for understanding the circumstances surrounding incidents or health concerns, determining contributing factors, and implementing effective control measures. It provides essential information for developing incident investigation protocols, conducting thorough root cause analysis, and promoting a culture of continuous improvement in
occupational health and safety practices. Additionally, this assessment guides decision-making on corrective actions, training programs, and management strategies to mitigate risks and enhance workplace safety performance. It also plays a vital role in fostering communication among
stakeholders, building trust, and ensuring transparency in addressing occupational health and safety issues
proactively.
