The Serious Incident and Fatality Investigation course provides instruction on how to complete investigations for incidents involving serious injuries or fatalities. These types of incidents often involve different agencies such as the RCMP and Coroners Service and employers should understand the roles and responsibilities of these agencies at the workplace.
This course is suitable for individuals who may be required to complete incident investigations, such as Joint Committee members, or Supervisors. It is recommended to take the BC Forest Safety Council Basic Incident Investigation course prior to enrolling in this course, but not required.
