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.
