Description

Workers in manufacturing or production plants are at risk of being involved in a workplace incident due to their exposure to dangerous equipment and working conditions. To prevent incidents from recurring, the management should establish an incident investigation program. This course walks you through OSHA's four-step systems approach to workplace incident investigations. Adopting this technique for investigating workplace incidents would allow the management, members of the safety committee, and union representatives to identify and control the underlying root causes of all incidents to prevent their recurrence.

The full course includes
