Why Third Party
By working with an impartial third party like Med99, your workplace investigations are guaranteed to be objective, transparent and effective.
What are workplace investigations?
Properly done a workplace accident investigation is a fair and balanced objective fact-gathering and review exercise.
​
Workplace accident investigations shouldn’t be based on opinions and they aren’t designed to catch people out. It’s about understanding and establishing what happened.
​
Once we have gathered all the facts and information, the investigation report will give the person requesting the investigation the information they need to make a decision on what to do next.
​
Without completing a balanced investigation an employer could be open to challenges on an outcome.
​
And this is where many workplace investigations can fail. Not completing an investigation to the correct standards can leave decisions made on the back of it open to question.
​
As workplace accident investigation specialists, med99 will support your organisation throughout the entire process. This includes impartial fact-gathering and robust interviewing, mediation where it’s appropriate.
Our professional workplace investigation planning is vital to this process, combined with our expertise and experience.
The Challenges with Workplace Investigations
When an accident investigation is raised, you are dealing with the aftermath. Because of that workplace investigations can be emotionally damaging to all parties, not just the one who raised the investigation.
​
There may be problems getting people to come forward as witnesses for fear of retribution.
​
Med99 is highly skilled in all aspects of the investigation process, including planning, interviewing and controlling bias. We act with sensitivity and confidentiality at all times.
​
We consider what we will be investigating and how we will get to the facts before we begin the investigation process. We fully understand the nature of the problem and formulated an in-depth plan before starting.
Who should conduct the workplace investigation?
Workplace accident investigations are time consuming and so your organisation may not always have the capacity to conduct a workplace investigation.
​
When there are layers of complexity to the accident investigation, our specialist expertise can really help.
​
What’s more, to maintain your employees’ trust and ensure fair outcomes, workplace accident investigations should be conducted by a professional with no personal or professional stakes in the outcome.
​
In this way a third-party investigator can really help.
Using a third-party investigator offers impartiality to the process, leaving the outcome less likely to be criticised.
