SCOPE:

The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that each year there are more than 2.78 million deaths worldwide as a result of workplace incidents or work-related diseases. in addition to this it also estimates that there are 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries and illnesses per year. the harm caused to individuals and the financial cost to organisations due to injury and ill health is immense.

The health and safety regulator for Great Britain, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), estimates that annually there are approximately 31 million working days lost, and the cost to the British economy of workplace injuries and ill health is around £15 billion per annul.

It is, therefore, extremely important that organisations learn lessons from workplace incidents. The ultimate aim of an incident investigation is to prevent recurrence of the same incident or, indeed, a more serious incident happening in the future.

Some compliance obligations (eg, the health and safety management system ISO 45001) also state that incidents must be investigated and actions taken to prevent the incident from happening again.

However, over time, HSE Inspectors from the British regulator have observed that incident investigation, in some organisations, is not always carried our to the highest standard. The NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation aims to equip students with the Knowledge, understanding and skills to carry out a solo investigation of a non-complex workplace incident; students will also be able to contribute to team incident investigations for large-scale incidents.
