Accident Investigation
Merit Environmental Ltd's team of consultants can help when things go wrong by providing a full incident management response team liaising with press, regulators and emergency services to simply helping to decide whether an incident is reportable or not.
With a number of consultants who worked for the Health and Safety Executive, we can draw on a similar investigative skill base and training. We have had the additional benefit of years of experience post HSE helping companies manage health and safety working. This has allowed us to work with all levels of staff and investigate numerous incidents producing recommendations for future action.
We are more frequently being instructed directly by solicitors which may enable investigative reports to be considered as privileged and not disclosable to an investigating authority such as the Health and Safety Executive.
We are familiar with a range of investigative techniques and can provide root cause analysis using event and causal factor analysis techniques if required, and we have a range of associates who can provide specialist technical engineering and laboratory services where necessary.
