Accident Investigation

Effective accident investigation is not only a moral and legal duty, it also represents sound commercial sense, as identifying and addressing the root causes of accidents guards against future incidents. A thorough investigation of an accident is demonstrable evidence of your commitment to safety. This recently redesigned course incorporates latest HSE guidance.

All delegates who successfully complete the course in full will be awarded the RoSPA certificate of training.
