Many workplace safety issues persist despite investigations and corrective actions. This webinar explores how a structured, data-driven approach was used to investigate a complex safety challenge, combining incident data, worker consultation and root cause analysis to uncover key contributing factors and identify practical improvements.

Attendees will gain insights into how a structured problem-solving process can help move beyond assumptions, engage workers effectively and support better safety outcomes across a range of workplace risks.
