4 2. Legislative Compliance This document has been drafted to comply with the principles of the Human Rights Act Proportionality has been identified as the key to Human Rights compliance, this means striking a fair balance between the rights of the individual and those of the rest of the community. There must be a reasonable relationship between the aim to be achieved and the means used. Equality and Diversity issues have also been considered to ensure compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and meet our legal obligation in relation to the equality duty. In addition, Data Protection, Freedom of Information and Health and Safety Issues have been considered. Adherence to this policy or procedure will therefore ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and internal policies. Both the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require an employer to develop and maintain safe systems and methods of work. Incident investigation is an essential part of performance monitoring, i.e. to feedback and make improvements to these systems. The Social Security (Claims and Payment) Regulations require an employer to investigate the circumstances of all incidents that are reported to them. It should be noted that in the event of legal action resulting from an incident, for example a compensation claim or Health and Safety Executive investigation, all documentation related to that incident, including the investigation will become legally recoverable. 3. Introduction This procedure is a Health and Safety procedure primarily aimed at investigation of incidents which result in an Injury on Duty, Near Miss, Non Employee or Regional Unit Incident Reporting Form. Each work related incident that happens provides an opportunity for the Force to learn from mistakes, check performance and make improvements to its risk control measures and health and safety management system. In order to maximise these learning opportunities it is essential that each incident is investigated to a suitable level using a methodical and consistent approach. The purpose of incident investigation is to identify: New threats/risks to the health, safety and welfare of Force employees and to ensure that suitable risk control measures are established, Areas or scenarios where risk control measures are not adequate or not being implemented, and; Action to be taken to reinforce risk control measures in order to prevent a similar incident or to minimise the potential harm from a similar set of circumstances. It is important that high quality customer service is provided as part of the Accident and Near Miss Investigation Procedure and the standards specified in the Customer Service Policy apply throughout this document. 4
