Union safety representatives should have an agreement with management on being informed as soon as possible of all accidents. Only under that condition will it be possible to reach the scene of the accident immediately to follow these procedures:
*Make sure it is safe to approach.
*Make sure anyone injured is receiving attention.
*Insist that nothing is removed or altered Until inquiries are complete.
*Check the accident is recorded in the accident book and that the record is not concerned with blaming the victim, but is an accurate description.
*Take statements from the injured person(s), if possible, and other witnesses. Remind witnesses they do not have to give statements to the management by law.
*Check that the factory inspector has been informed, if required by law1
*Sketch accident area, take photographs, if possible, and samples of defective equipment or chemicals.
Only if these procedures are carried out properly will it be possible for safety representatives to find out the real cause of the accident.
