HSEQ - INCIDENT ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
The SHEQ Manager, Supervisor, Manager or other designated individual will investigate all work-related accidents in a timely manner.
This includes minor incidents and “near accidents” as well as serious injuries.
An accident is defined as any unexpected occurrence that results in injury to personnel, damage to equipment, facilities, or material, or interruption of normal operations.
