Accident/ Injury Investigation If an accident or near miss takes place and there is no attempt to identify the causes and take preventive action, then it is not a question of "if', but "when" the situation could happen again. All incidents, accidents and injuries are to be reported to your supervisor immediately. If an accident occurs, we will follow these steps: • The employees immediately notifies supervisor. • The supervisor will be responsible for completing an investigation of the accident. Most of our yard and our tip floor are monitored by cameras that can be used for investigative purposes. The investigation will be documented using the Accident Investigation Report form. The purpose of the investigation is fact finding— not fault finding. If possible, the supervisor will immediately correct any apparent hazards and document these changes. • The supervisor will return the completed Accident Investigation Report in to the Human Resources office for review by the end of the workday. Management will determine corrective actions in order to avoid similar future accidents. • The Human Resources Department will complete a First Report of Injury form if medical treatment is necessary. Our Workers Compensation carrier will be notified of the claim. • HR and Management will cooperate with the recommendations of our Workers Comp carrier and the treating doctor. • If applicable, Human Resources will ensure that the injury is recorded on our OSHA 300 Log. • If there is an accident that results in an employee with restrictions, we will try to get that employee back to work as soon as possible. Any limitations will be accommodated to the best of our ability.
