Hence, it is therefore a matter of policy of the company that every employee is expected to report immediately to his supervisor or site engineer any accident which occur to him, his fellow employee or any machine/equipment in his place of work. The supervisor/site engineer in turn is expected to investigate the accident to determine its circumstances. He should correct any unsafe unsafe acts that that were responsible responsible for the accident. accident. The corrective corrective 16
actions will be discussed with other work groups/areas during the review meeting or sooner depending on the severity of the incident and the need for others to learn from it.

Employees are mandated to cooperate during the investigation. 5.2 Accident Prevention Apart from ensuring that all rules and practices aforementioned are properly followed, accidents accidents are also prevented through Job Analysis to uncover potential potential hazards inherent either in individual jobs or projects to be undertaken. The jobs to be analyzed are broken down into successive steps, potential hazards are identified and ways to eliminate them and prevent accidents are developed.
