Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide accident investigation services in Galway?▼
Yes. Safety Check serves Galway and all of Connacht with professional accident investigation services. We have 50+ years of combined construction safety expertise and can respond rapidly to Galway construction sites to preserve evidence and begin investigation.
What is the response time for Galway accidents?▼
We aim for rapid response, typically within 24-48 hours for Galway sites. The first hours are critical for scene preservation. Early response allows us to photograph and measure the scene, collect physical evidence, and interview witnesses while memories are fresh.
What types of accidents do you investigate?▼
We investigate all types of construction accidents: falls from height, struck by objects, electrocution, excavation incidents, crane incidents, machinery incidents, and near-misses. Near-miss investigations are often more valuable because they allow corrective action before someone is hurt.
Is the investigation confidential?▼
Yes. Investigation reports are prepared for your organization and are subject to legal privilege if prepared at your direction. However, you must report certain accidents to the HSA within 10 working days. We advise you on your legal obligations.
What happens if the HSA investigates?▼
The HSA can request your investigation report. We recommend having your own investigation completed promptly, as it demonstrates to the HSA that you take safety seriously and are actively investigating and implementing corrective actions.
How does the investigation help prevent future incidents?▼
We identify root causes using systematic methodologies and develop specific, measurable corrective actions that address underlying issues. This prevents similar incidents from happening again and strengthens your safety management system.
