Accident Investigation & RIDDOR Support

Understand what happened and prevent a repeat.

A useful investigation goes beyond the immediate mistake. We help your team preserve relevant evidence, examine underlying causes and identify actions that address the conditions which allowed the incident to happen.

What you receive

• An agreed investigation scope and evidence request
• Review of relevant risk assessments, training, supervision and work arrangements
• Support with interviews, timelines and analysis of underlying causes
• A report with findings, recommendations and accountable actions
• Advice on RIDDOR reporting and follow-up within the agreed service

Who this is for

Employers, contractors, schools and other organisations responding to an accident, dangerous occurrence or significant near miss.

How it works

1. Call us with the incident details and any immediate deadlines.
2. We agree our role and identify the records and people needed.
3. Review the evidence and test possible causes.
4. Agree controls, communicate learning and check whether actions are effective.

Agreeing the scope

Emergency response comes first. Investigation support is subject to availability and an agreed scope. The relevant duty holder remains responsible for statutory notifications and deadlines; legal representation is a separate service.
