When you need it

  • After a work accident or dangerous occurrence. NADOPOD reg 5(1) requires the employer to immediately notify DOSH and submit a written report within 7 days. A trained investigator makes sure the report is accurate and complete.
  • DOSH audit or compliance inspection is coming. Show that your team has the skills to investigate incidents and close corrective actions.
  • Main contractor or client requires investigation capability on site. Demonstrate that your safety officers can lead a formal investigation.
  • Your team has never done formal root-cause analysis. We train them to go beyond "human error" and find the systemic cause.

What your team walks away with

  • Preserve the incident scene and collect evidence without contamination
  • Interview witnesses using structured techniques
  • Apply root-cause analysis (5 Whys, fishbone) to find underlying causes
  • Write a clear investigation report with corrective actions and timelines
  • Track closure of corrective actions to prevent recurrence
