I am just in the process of updating my accident investigation training course and based on some of the accident investigation photographs I have received, I have concluded we need to include a higher level of accident investigation photography as part of the course. My plan is to allocate a slot, set up accident scene, get the delegates to photograph it explaining view points, the need for close up’s, wide shots, using measures for scale, not getting in the way of emergency services, legal side etc. In a previous life (before H&S) I trained as a photographer and worked as assistant photographer and still do dabble in it, so I am happy about the technical side. I have used the search function and found this thread http://forum.iosh.co.uk/...aspx?g=posts&t=84348 from 2009, which has been a useful reminder of what I need to include. Does anyone have anymore up to date information or is able to point me in the direction of any advice sheets, recent books, websites etc. that may be useful for the delegates and myself. Thanks in advance. Rod

As previously mentioned include scale and I was told that you could also give a plan drawing of the site / location and mark on this the actual accident location.

Thank you all for your response, I will take all the comments on board. As for the legal side it will be very basic as its only a two day course and I also have to cover about photographs being taken at down route locations whose security forces may not like cameras! imwaldra - Thanks for the book reference, I will be following that up.
