Morning all. Could anyone please point me in the direction of a free, short, simple introduction to the principles of accident investigation, suitable for a handout to safety reps (untrained, non-union flavour)? Something like an HSE free leaflet would be ideal - except there isn't one on this topic!

During my HEBOSH course I was introduced to the following website
"www.e-hazard.org.uk/"
The practical exercise was fun and helped me understand the problems

Kate, I don’t care much for your attitude to your safety reps…”(untrained, non-union flavour)”. I wonder if you would communicate directly to them in that manor?

The HSG is far too long for what I need!
My description of the safety reps wasn't meant to be derogatory but to indicate the level of information I was looking for. They haven't had training (that's just a fact, it's not in any way their fault)and nor do they have much prospect of getting any - providing them with written information is a compromise.

Kate,
Some time ago I did a NEBOSH assignment on the need for accident reporting and investigation.
Whilst it won't suit your needs exactly, you might be able to adapt it to a handout summariseing the principles. The Conclusions may be especially useful.
Let me know if you think it might fit the bill (at least partly).
Paul

I dont agree about not using the HSG just the headings on the form will give someone a good systematic approach.Try something like this for starters.
What to do in case of an accident.
1/ Ensure any casualties are receiving treatment.
Be sure no-one else becomes a casualty i.e. gassed, electric shock.
2/ Consider if the emergency team or service is required.
3/ Secure the area.
4/ Record evidence
Time, Date, Casualty names, Witness names, Area, Measurements,
Facts, Statements, documents (P.T.W. etc.), photos (a Polaroid & 35mm camera is always available at the gatehouse).
5/ Start your investigation. Don't jump to conclusions, stick to the facts and let people tell you in their own words what happened next. (Don’t ask closed questions (yes/no) ask people to describe the events). The use of the HSG style investigation form will guide you through a systematic approach to the investigation.
6/ Remember as a safety rep you are not in charge. The supervisor or manager is, you should give support if required, record the facts that you see and ensure no further incident occurs.
It is within your rights to inspect, record and investigate accidents.
