Accident Reporting

An accident cost is like an iceberg, the costs you see are only the tip of the problem. Employer’s Liability / Public Liability Insurance will cover you for the payment of damages and legal costs to the injured party, but doesn't include the other costs, eg the cleaning and clearing of the accident site, investigation time, overtime working or temporary replacement labour, plant and building damage, product and materials damage, production delays, loss of experience and expertise, tool and equipment damage, and of course there’s the inevitable paperwork.

Ark Environmental provides an impartial and thorough accident / incident investigation service and can assist you with the reporting of health and safety incidents relating to your organisation. Their investigation service is not intended to allocate blame but will examine the direct and indirect causes of the accident / incident with a view to avoiding a recurrence.

The Health and Safety Executive guidance recommends that all accidents / incidents be investigated as a way of avoiding a recurrence. Accident / Incident investigation is a useful aid to prevention and may even help to save you money in the long term.

Ark Environmental will liaise with the enforcing authorities, investigating serious accidents and will respond swiftly to get your business up and running in the event of an improvement or prohibition notice.
