Incident
Investigation -- Tips, Techniques & Trivia
I've scheduled some training sessions for March
and April (see
schedule).
I've been busy with fatality investigations the
past few months including one in Oklahoma. The majority of these
have been at multiple employer worksites and a definite pattern
has emerged.
Accidents at multiple employer sites is the theme
of sessions sponsored by the McLennan Ross law firm in Edmonton
and Calgary this month (see
link).
Jeff
Investigation of Serious Accidents at
Multiple Employer Sites
Clients involved in these
types of accidents are typically small or medium sized employers
with an average safety program working for a large international
organization with sophisticated safety programs. Firm "A"
has hired "B" who in turn has hired employer "C".
When I first meet employer "C"
they always tell me they enjoy good working relationship with
both "B" and "A" and that while this accident
is unfortunate, it in time will be resolved and our business relationship
will continue undamaged. That is rarely the case!
Yes, there's a good working relationship
between all parties as long as everyone is doing what they were
contracted to do. Have a fatal accident and everything changes!
Your accident has caught the attention of government, the media
and the public; groups employers don't want to have knocking on
their doors after a negative event. This is unwanted attention,
and expect employer "A" to initiate steps to protect
both the organization and their employees against any future accidents
or liabilities. They will begin dissecting both the ongoing investigation
and the safety program of employer "C" as they have
both a right and duty to do.
