A health and Safety Inspector from the Ministry of Labour would conduct the investigation since it included a critical injury. This would be a reactive inspection. 2) Is training needed in order to do the inspection?

[ CITATION Gov22 \l 1033 ] 3) How often should the inspection be completed? The inspection should be completed annually at least, preferably more often for preventative measures.

Yes, the inspection absolutely needs to be documented. [ CITATION Gov23 \l 1033 ] 6) According to what you have learned, to prevent this accident ... The employee should have conducted a risk assessment prior to starting the work he was doing. The employee also should have ensured he was wearing all of the PPE that he should have been wearing. If he had been wearing work gloves the injury might not have been as severe. [ CITATION Gov23 \l 1033 ] 7) What should the employer have done? The employer should have provided written instructions on how the work should be done.

Also, the employee should have ensured that he knew what he was doing and if he did not he should have asked for help and guidance. The employee should have paid attention to his work at hand and not have been in a rush to get finished. The employee should have made sure he was using all of the PPE that he was to be using at the time. [ CITATION Gov23 \l 1033 ]
