POLICY
It is the policy of Avantis to investigate all adverse events that either result in injury or ill health. It is also our
policy to investigate all adverse events that might potentially have resulted in injury, ill health or damage to
property, plant or equipment (near misses). This will enable us to learn from these events in order to prevent a
re-occurrence.

ARRANGEMENTS

INJURY/ ILLNESS REPORT

Avantis will ensure that all Injuries and Illnesses (whilst on site) are reported and investigated (at an appropriate
level) using the Injury / Illness Report as soon as possible following the incident and an Adverse Event
Investigation Report prepared If / Where appropriate.

ADVERSE EVENT INVESTIGATION REPORT


Avantis will ensure that all appropriate adverse events are fully investigated as soon as possible following the
incident and an Adverse Event Investigation Report prepared. When completed, a copy of the report will, if
appropriate, be sent either to the injured person(s) or to the person reporting the adverse event.
The Adverse Event Investigation Report cannot be considered as complete until there has been verification
conducted and signed for of the corrective and preventative measures and evidence of such has been added to
the report file (such as Toolbox Talk signature sheet or photographs etc).

RISK CONTROL ACTION PLAN


The company recognises, it is important that specific actions are identified that deal with the immediate,
underlying and root causes of an adverse event. Any short or long term remedial actions identified as part of the
investigation will be recorded on a Risk Control Action Plan.

REVIEW
A suitable date will be set for review of the Risk Control Action Plan to ensure that all recommendations have
been implemented.

Where appropriate, the relevant risk assessments and safe working procedures will be reviewed and updated to
include the remedial actions identified as part of the investigation.
