Workplace Incident Management

Workplace Incident Management

Gem Corporate Services is proudly associated with some of Australia's most knowledgeable and experienced experts in the field of workplace wellbeing, and in Health and Safety. Among them is our resident investigative consultant who works tirelessly to assist our client companies to train key personnel in Incident and Risk Management. Grant McKay facilitates site specific workshops for private companies and for local and federal government.
  • Learn how to properly assess and respond to workplace incidents
  • Understand procedures undertaken during the investigation of accidents/incidents in the work environment
  • Explore actual case scenarios and the resulting courtroom decisions
  • Understand the relevant case laws supporting those courtroom outcomes
  • Take the steps necessary to protect your exposure to potential claims
"Generally speaking the current response to most incidents and accidents by key personnel is manifestly inadequate. Ultimately, the information gathered may very well end up being tested in a court of law. Courts do not accept excuses when people are injured or killed as a result of inadequate OH&S management!" Grant McKay

Ask yourself the tough questions....
  1. Do I have the skills to identify potential OH&S issues in my environment?
  2. Do I know how to respond appropriately to accidents / incidents?
  3. What information is legally relevant?
  4. Can there be too much information?
  5. How do I record the information so that it is timely and relevant?
  6. Are my policies and procedures appropriate for the environment in which they are applied?
  7. What are the differences between Workcover, public liability and common law issues?
  8. What are the penalties if I am found liable?
  9. How do I ensure that others are also committed?
If you find yourself struggling to confidently answer these questions - you need to address them now!

Testimonials:

"Grant recently conducted a mock court for our Local Laws Team to assist with court preparation and presentation. The experience was invaluable to our team and one they will not forget in a hurry. Grant made the experience very real, and his knowledge in this area was very obvious throughout the training. Our team found it most beneficial and we were very pleased with the outcomes." Helen Hine, Learning & Development Coordinator, Customer Service, City of Casey

"These Risk Management sessions were an eye opener. We thought we had great systems and procedures, and always ensured our people were inducted and trained....but it became quite clear that it's not enough! We came away with a revamped approach - simple and workable - and most importantly, everybody is onboard! Grant has an easy and likeable manner, and because of his extensive on-the-ground background, he was captivating and convincing. No employer or manager should be without this experience. Thank you!" Brian Thomas, Managing Director

Grant brings over 30 years of real life experience as a member of the Australian Federal Police and as an Investigative Consultant to his workshops. Notably, his key role in exposing the truth behind the case of Roseanne Catt says it all....
