The BC Forest Safety Council encourages employers to share incident investigation information. These reports can help employers and workers understand the causes and underlying factors that contribute to workplace accidents and help prevent similar accidents in your workplace.
Employers are required to conduct investigations into incidents that happen on their worksites. In addition, WorkSafeBC conducts investigations into serious incidents. Often, WorkSafeBC investigations take a number of months or even years to complete due to legal requirements they face. For a link to WorkSafeBC investigations, please click here.
All incident investigations posted here are arranged by date, with the newest ones listed first.
You can also download an investigation template that guides you through the kinds of information you should include in your investigation report.
