Incident
Investigation
When
a serious incident occurs at a workplace, the employer is required
to notify Manitoba Labour - Workplace Safety and Health Division.
Under Manitoba Regulation 108/88R, section 8, such notification
must take place immediately after a serious incident, using the "fastest" means of communication available.
In
order to prevent future incidents, the employer together with the
safety and health committee/representative should have a plan in
place which identifies the individuals or an investigating team
responsible for conducting the investigation.
