Do you think about the purpose of your workplace safety investigations? Is it clearly defined, shared, and stated in your reports? Most safety professionals do; and often get it right. But there’s one critical aspect of investigation purpose that’s almost always overlooked, and it could turn your well-intentioned report into a liability.
In this session, Desai Link unpacks how purpose shapes every part of an investigation, from the questions asked to the findings reported, and why getting it “mostly right” may not be good enough. Drawing from legal insights and real-world examples, he challenges the assumptions many of us make and highlights how a single oversight in purpose can have unintended consequences.
This webinar is essential for safety professionals, investigators, and leaders seeking to sharpen their thinking about purpose, process, and impact.
