Kinaston Associates is an accident investigation
company that specialises in the examination of the underlying causes leading to industrial events. We provide a number of services and have
worked with a wide variety of clients across numerous sectors of industry.
This web site is split into a number of pages that relate to
our services ranging from the provision of the respected IOSH accident
investigation courses through to legal and AI policy production. We do not provide other services our one area
of specialism is industrial accident investigation and training and although
this might sound as if we are limiting our business opportunities, our clients
appreciate our expertise.
The examination of loss is a key
business function; however the methodology used is often lacking academic rigour
and legal convention. This weakness in
the data collection process leads to confusion when trying to identify the
epidemiology of a loss event. In
addition to this there is a tendency to concentrate resources on those events
that have to be officially reported as a result of some legal requirement, rather than looking at all events. This direction of resources can result in
failing to assess the wealth of data behind lower outcome events.
Kinaston can provide an
organisation with the skills required to develop a comprehensive loss
management system aimed at looking at five key areas of failure:
Our emphasis is on education
rather than consultancy, which means simply that we would rather see in-house expertise
than repeated buying in of a consultant’s skills. Our
Accident Loss Investigation courses have been rolled out across various sectors
in the industrial world. Using evidence
gathering systems that are acceptable to English Law and academically supported
analysis processes, the outcomes from our investigations provide a sound foundation of
data on which an organisation may evolve.
Our principle training courses are part of the Institution of Occupational Safety and
Health’s ((IOSH) professional development package.
