OTA Institute: Accident Investigation Training

Description

Accidents happen, and when they do, being prepared to investigate and document them properly is crucial. Join us for a comprehensive, all-day training led by Dan Katt from Rumpke Waste & Recycling on Wednesday, April 17. This training, held at the Medallion Club in Westerville, will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to handle accident investigations with confidence.

Here's what you can expect from this training:

• Learn to properly investigate and document vehicular accidents.
• Master the art of collecting, preserving, and evaluating physical evidence.
• Participate in a "hands-on" mock crash scenario to practice scene measurements and field sketch preparation.
• Gain insight into the correct way to photograph accident scenes to preserve critical details.
• Explore post-accident drug/alcohol testing and crash reconstruction.
• Understand legal aspects, including attorney/client privilege and preparation for litigation.
• Enhance your skills in report writing, interviewing techniques, and recording witness statements.

As a bonus, attendees will receive valuable materials, including a printed manual and an accident investigation checklist. A continental breakfast and lunch will also be provided. Attending this training costs $299 for OTA members and $449 for non-members.
