The course will run over 3 short days on the 7th,

Introduction
The Health and Safety Executive provides
support to fellow occupational safety and health (OSH) regulators
around the World. This live online course is for individuals who
are responsible for undertaking investigations into workplace
incidents. HSE will be sharing the incident investigation
principles developed as part of its Regulators Training Programme
(RTP) in a live online course, available to fellow Health and
Safety regulators.
The course covers the main principles and
best practices that HSE has developed to become a global leader in
incident investigation. The programme will be led by an experienced
principal inspector who will take you through the key stages of an
incident investigation, from initial notification and planning,
through the evidential and analysis stages, to the production of an
effective investigation report.
The live online format allows for interactive
sessions and group discussion with fellow regulators from all
around the world. The learning is brought alive using case studies
and individual exercises.
The course allows for a day and a half with a
specialist principal inspector, spread over three days, in
consecutive weeks. This format gives ample breaks, networking and
self-study time.
The course will cover
- Understanding why we investigate
- The essential stages of the investigation process
- How to develop an Investigation Plan
