You are working for a medium$-$sized manufacturing facility as a newly$-$hired Health and Safety Coordinator. The General Manager has asked that you prepare an $$Investigation Tool$-$kit$$ for use by all Supervisors and Managers in the case of a workplace accident. As you only work $40$ hours a week, the General Manager wants the facility to be prepared and ready to respond appropriately in your absence$.$

You eventually will be giving training to all principals in accident investigations and root cause analysis, but for now the GM wants a tool$-$kit until training can be arranged.

The GM tells you that in the past, when an accident or incident happens, these have been the biggest gaps:

$1.$ He or senior management weren$$t notified until well after the incident,

$2.$ No$-$one knew what evidence to gather,

$3.$ Witnesses huddled together and shared their version of events,

$4.$ The scenes were not secured in a rush to get back to production.

Your tool$-$kit needs to be given to your instructor by the last day of the class. Your tool$-$kit should outline:

$$ Basic steps, activities and actions supervision or management must take when an incident happens,

$$ A list of tools or aids to be kept for ease in performing the steps in an incident investigation,

$$ Any other guides $($how to question$)$ or aids $($how to secure the scene, how to take photos, diagrams, etc.$)$ you think will be relevant

Your paper will contain a cover page. It will be presented as an Executive Brief and be no longer than $3$ pages. It must clearly state the need or gap that you are attempting to bridge. Each different aspect of the proposed tool kit must have a heading and be clearly written.

There is no need for a summative statement at the end of your paper as this is a supply list and not an analytical paper.

GRADING, DUE DATES

The assignment is weighted according to the amount listed in your syllabus. Written assignments that are received late or oral presentations that are postponed will receive a deduction of $10\%$ per day late for the entire calculation of the assignment mark. There are no exceptions. Your paper is due before the beginning of the final exam on the last day of the course.
