Construction works are hazardous in their inherent nature and numerous construction-based activities can result in accidents/ and near miss incidents. The more serious the incident the more serious the implications and ramifications. It can be very difficult and a traumatic experience for those who are directly involved or witness to the event, not forgetting the impact on the injured party’s family and friends.
The cost of accidents particular those resulting in fatality and major injuries can lead to unintended consequences for Contractors. The Health and Safety Executive depending on the seriousness of the incident demands a proportionate response in order to learn lessons from any incidents to prevent costly accidents occurring in the foreseeable future.
In our experience an independent investigation carried out immediately after an incident helps Contractors to understand and establish the immediate and root causes of incidents and as to why they occurred and to avoid a reoccurrence and protect what matters in terms of loss reputation and compensation claims.
