Our Experts apply a methodical and investigative approach to reports to assess all relevant work health and safety legislation, Australian and international standards, and regulatory documents produced by state safety regulators applicable to a matter, including but not limited to codes of practice, building codes and guidelines.
Our Experts undertake interviews to identify key factual matters and review evidentiary material provided. Additional documents to be subpoenaed will be requested.
Incident location inspections or inspections of defective plant are undertaken where available in order to collect evidence and undertake testing. Our Experts have a range of technical calibrated equipment to collect evidence including but not limited to pendulum slip test machines and electronic lux meters to test lighting levels.
Our Experts provide a thorough and detailed factual account of the incident, apply technical/root cause analysis to identify causal and contributory factors, assign liability based on duty of care obligations, and identify practical risk control measures to eliminate or minimise the risk of injury.
The Reports cover and assess mechanisms and causes of injury, systems of work, risk management principles, training and supervision, state of knowledge, technical systems and procedures, Work Health and Safety Management Systems (WHSMS), and matter specific content.
