INVESTIGATING ACCIDENTS AT THE WORKPLACE

Investigative skills are one of the many demands made of a human resource practitioner. Prompt and thorough investigations have to be made into allegations of sexual harassment, as required by the Employment Act 1955 and investigations are needed before an employee accused of misconduct can be charged and ordered to defend himself at a domestic inquiry. Depending upon the purpose of the investigation, different problems may arise. Sexual harassment investigations are sensitive and potentially emotional for both the victim and the alleged harasser. This topic is covered in the article entitled Investigating Sexual Harassment. When investigating various types of misconduct, the investigator needs to collect evidence which can be used to prove the guilt of the employee concerned. However, while employers have the right to investigate, similarly employees have rights which may not be abused. Some pointers on the rights of both parties are found in the article Evidence and the Domestic Inquiry. In this article, investigating accidents will be the focus of attention.
