Hello
Auditor created non conformance. He says there is no participation of workers in incident investigation under 4.4.3.2
What is the Health and Safety Officer and Worker supervisor required to do and show to resolve this.
Thanks

The intent of the standard is very clear.
That you have to involve the workers, the hands on working people in the hazard identification, risk assessments and determination of control.
What is to be done to show (I would say the method) is simple.
Involve the workers.
How ?
Talk with them in their language, at the workplace.
Understand their point of view and consider it in the hazard identification.
Educate them about the OHSAS policies and objectives so as to bring about voluntary participation and therefore the ability to appreciate the controls that are put in place. The control methods are therefore not thrust upon them by someone else, but they become an output of their own involvement. Their ideas and view points are considered.
Record them and have them sign off too.
Selected workers from the place of work or the involvement of the workers union members (if there is one) are the simple ways to go.
You have a valid NC to work and bring about a CA process.
