Employers are responsible for investigating certain incidents or near misses that take place in the workplace and submitting an investigation report to WorkSafeBC. These investigations help employers and WorkSafeBC determine why an incident happened and what can be done to prevent similar situations in the future.
The term incident can be defined as an occurrence, condition, or situation arising in the course of work that resulted in or could have resulted in injuries, illnesses, damage to health, or fatalities.
This guide is intended for those who conduct or participate in workplace incident investigations: employers, joint health and safety committee members, worker representatives, and others. It will help you effectively prepare to investigate an incident at your workplace and supports further training in incident investigations.
