This document discusses the legal requirements and best practices for conducting workplace investigations. It notes that employers are required by law to investigate incidents involving human rights complaints, health and safety issues, accidents, and injuries. A good investigation should be conducted by an impartial and qualified person, involve interviewing witnesses and collecting statements, and consider all evidence fairly. When writing the report, the investigator should consider the audience, weigh the evidence objectively, and avoid hindsight bias. Privilege issues around the report must also be considered carefully.
