Road Crash Investigation – level 1

This program is focused to show accident investigations serve multiple purposes and are a vital part of any loss control program. The major reason to conduct an investigation is to determine the cause of the accident and implement corrective actions or preventative measures that may prevent similar accidents in the future. The conclusions of a detailed investigation report should allow your company to implement effective measures to eliminate or greatly minimize the hazards associated with the event and keep it from occurring again. In this course we will discuss accident investigation policies and procedures, personal injuries, first aid injuries, near misses, property damage forms, authorized investigators, investigative techniques, OSHA reporting requirements, and more.
