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 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
