JLP Investigation Solutions

---

WorkCover prevention investigations are designed to assist employers in identifying and documenting workplace issues early, before they develop into formal psychological injury claims.

JLP Investigation Solutions conducts early-stage investigations into matters such as bullying allegations, interpersonal conflict, performance disputes, management conduct complaints, and workplace stressors. The focus is to establish a clear factual baseline through interviews, document review, and structured analysis of events.

These investigations support employers by:

• identifying key risk factors and organisational exposures 
• establishing whether allegations are substantiated or unsubstantiated 
• producing defensible documentation aligned with procedural fairness 
• assisting with early intervention strategies and dispute resolution planning
   

This service is particularly valuable where an employer suspects a psychological claim may be developing, and needs a structured, evidence-based response.

We conduct independent workplace injury investigations involving both physical incidents and psychological injury allegations. 

We support employers, insurers and legal representatives by establishing a clear, evidence-based understanding of events.

For physical injury matters, we examine:

• Mechanism of injury 
• Incident circumstances and site conditions 
• Safety systems and procedural controls 
• Witness accounts and timeline consistency 
• Post-incident reporting and medical disclosure patterns
   

For psychological injury matters, we examine:

• Alleged workplace stressors 
• Claims of bullying or harassment 
• Management actions and performance processes 
• Contemporaneous communications (emails, messages, meeting records) 
• Behavioural consistency and chronology alignment
   

All investigations are principal-led, structured and impartial. Findings are assessed on the balance of probabilities and presented in clear, defensible reports suitable for WorkCover, insurer, legal or internal decision-making.

 We provide a structured task observation and risk documentation service, designed to assist organisations in strengthening workplace safety and reducing injury exposure.

We attend site to observe tasks in real operational conditions, capturing photographic and video documentation where appropriate. 

Tasks are broken down into clear procedural steps, with associated hazards identified and risk levels assessed. Control measures are documented in accordance with established risk management principles.

Deliverables include:

• Step-by-step Safe Work Instructions 
• Hazard identification and risk assessment matrices 
• Control hierarchy documentation 
• Training-ready sign-off sheets
   

This service supports employers in establishing clear, defensible systems of work and assists in mitigating the risk of workplace injury and subsequent claims.

JLP Investigation Solutions provides structured governance documentation and incident management frameworks designed to support defensible decision-making in SME construction and industrial environments.

Our documentation is informed by real investigative experience and aligned with contemporary risk management principles.

We develop:

• Workplace behavioural and complaint handling policies 
• Structured investigation procedures 
• Incident and injury reporting systems 
• Task-based risk assessments and safe work instructions 
• Governance frameworks for operational risk control
   

Each document is tailored to the operational environment of the organisation and designed for practical implementation, not generic compliance.

Our focus is clarity, defensibility and operational relevance.

We undertake insurance fraud and loss investigations where there are concerns relating to dishonest claims, staged events, theft, or misrepresentation.

These matters may involve:

• suspicious injury claims 
• exaggerated incapacity claims 
• false reporting of workplace incidents 
• theft and internal loss matters 
• deliberate breaches of duty or policy 
• inconsistencies between evidence and reported accounts
   

Our process includes targeted fact-finding, evidence validation, witness interviews, open-source intelligence checks, and where required, surveillance planning.

This service is designed to provide clients with objective evidence and clear reporting to support claim determinations, disciplinary processes, or legal action.

Skip tracing involves locating individuals who may be required for interview, service of documents, debt recovery action, or legal proceedings.

JLP Investigation Solutions conducts skip tracing using lawful investigative methods including:

• open-source intelligence (OSINT) research 
• database-style cross referencing (where permitted) 
• public record checks 
• digital footprint analysis 
• employment and business link tracing 
• property and address validation techniques
   

This service is often used to locate:

• former employees 
• witnesses 
• claimants 
• defendants 
• individuals avoiding contact
   

All locate activity is conducted with discretion and in compliance with privacy and investigative standards.

Surveillance is conducted where independent observation is required to confirm activity, behaviour, physical capacity, or location patterns relevant to a claim or investigation.

JLP Investigation Solutions provides discreet and legally compliant surveillance services for matters involving:

• WorkCover injury claims 
• suspected exaggerated incapacity 
• return-to-work inconsistencies 
• fraud-related investigations 
• workplace misconduct monitoring (where appropriate and lawful)
   

Surveillance operations may include:

• static surveillance 
• mobile vehicle surveillance 
• photographic/video documentation 
• time and location reporting logs 
• behaviour and capacity observations
   

All surveillance is planned with a clear objective and delivered with detailed reporting, ensuring evidence is properly documented, defensible, and suitable for insurer or legal review.
