Workplace investigations for critical and fatal accidents is a legal process. These should never be completed by inexperienced, untrained employees. Many reports are simply done improperly. Your company’s well being, corporate brand and your reputation are immediately at risk when unforeseen events lead to tragedy. Many critical injuries and ALL fatal injury investigations should be conducted under privilege. Intricate and exhaustive detail is the expected standard. Anything less places you and your company at risk.
