When a safety incident disrupts your operations, getting back on track quickly and effectively is crucial. The human and financial costs of a Work Health and Safety (WHS) incident can be significant, but with the Geval Group’s professional safety incident investigations, you gain a clear path to minimizing these impacts.
Prevent Recurrence, Not Blame
In the aftermath of an incident, a blame-oriented response can hinder progress and damage morale. What’s needed is a transparent, objective investigation that identifies the root causes and provides solutions to prevent similar incidents. Our investigation experts bring exactly that—professionalism, clarity, and preventive strategies that put your business on a safer path forward.
Reliable, Responsive Incident Investigations
From major incidents to near misses, our independent investigation teams respond promptly, working with sensitivity and discretion. Utilizing proven methodologies and experienced industry facilitators, we uncover the root cause efficiently, ensuring solutions that lead to real improvements. We make the learning process as straightforward and productive as possible.
What Our Investigations Involve
Each incident is unique, and so is each investigation. We tailor our approach to meet your objectives and timeline, using various techniques such as desk research, on-site inspections, interviews, and analytical methods like ICAM, Taproot and the 5 Whys. This comprehensive process identifies underlying issues and trends, culminating in a clear corrective action plan.
Beyond Investigation: Effective Communication of Lessons Learned
One of the most overlooked steps in incident investigations is effectively sharing findings across the workforce. A single report on a bulletin board isn’t enough to inspire real change. At Geval Group, our digital training team transforms lessons learned into dynamic, engaging content that resonates with employees at all levels, ensuring safety improvements are widely understood and adopted.
Find the root cause and prevent future incidents
When and if an incident or accident occurs, it is imperative that an incident investigation is carried out thoroughly to ensure the root causes have been identified and controls actioned to prevent any reoccurrence.
OHS Legislation also dictates any serious incident or accident (ie electrical shock, broken bones etc) are reported ASAP to the relevant regulatory body (Worksafe WA, EPA etc).
