Unfortunately, accidents do happen, however, finding the real cause of accidents and incidents is important so that their reoccurrence can be prevented.
It is also important that correct actions are taken following any accident or incident to preserve the evidence and ensure that the legal reporting to HSE and any other agencies (if relevant and required) is carried out properly. This will also have implications for your insurers and they would like to see that proper procedures are followed.
