Things to do when an accident occurs in the workplace:
- Closing & securing the accident site/location by limiting access to the scene to avoid secondary accidents
- Equipment & materials involved in the accident must be secured
- First Aid must be carried out immediately by appointed & trained staff
- Actions to save the victims must be taken immediately, including by bringing in Medical Officers & providing proper Medical Treatment
- Site Supervisors & Rescue Teams who carry out rescue actions must coordinate & communicate with the management
- The company must deal with the stress & emotional disturbance that occurs to the victims
- The company must investigate the accident
- The company must make Accident Report
- The company must report accidents that occur to the right party
- The company must also carry out a “Back to Work Program” in which the company seeks to ensure that employees who are the victims can return to work so that they do not experience further stress & trauma
When the investigation process is carried out, several things must be done are:
- Reviewing the causes of the accidents
- Assessing the injuries that occurred to the victims
- Collecting evidence
- Interviewing witnesses
- Taking photos
- Making reports on accidents, victims, injuries, losses & more
- The company must ensure that the report is accurate & honest
Important Note:
- Accident Reports can be used as the basis of a Plan/Program to Handle Injury & Accidents
- If the company does not make an Accident Report, then the loss will occur because the company has to pay fines besides paying insurance costs, medical treatment costs & wage replacement costs
All of the above can save the company & its employees from other accidents.
