Workplace accidents can have serious consequences for employees and businesses alike. At Square Safety Solutions, we provide expert accident investigations to determine the root causes, ensure legal compliance, and help prevent future incidents.

Why Investigate Workplace Accidents?

Accident investigations are essential for understanding what went wrong and implementing corrective actions. A thorough investigation can help your business:

• Identify the cause of accidents and prevent recurrence.
• Meet legal requirements under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR).
• Reduce potential liability and avoid costly legal action.
• Improve workplace safety procedures and policies.
• Maintain a strong health and safety culture among employees.

Our Accident Investigation Process

We follow a structured approach to investigating workplace incidents, ensuring a comprehensive analysis and practical solutions. Our process includes:

• On-site inspections to assess conditions and gather evidence.
• Interviews with witnesses and affected employees.
• Analysis of workplace procedures, risk assessments, and safety measures.
• Detailed reporting with findings, root cause analysis, and recommendations.
• Support in implementing corrective actions to prevent similar incidents.

RIDDOR Reporting & Legal Compliance

Employers are legally required to report certain types of workplace accidents, diseases, and dangerous occurrences under RIDDOR. We help businesses ensure compliance by:

• Determining whether an incident is reportable under RIDDOR.
• Completing and submitting RIDDOR reports to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
• Providing guidance on legal obligations and best practices.
• Supporting businesses in responding to HSE investigations and enforcement actions.

Preventing Future Accidents

Beyond investigating incidents, we help businesses implement proactive measures to reduce workplace risks. This includes:
