Incident Investigation
The purpose of incident investigation is to explain why and how an accident happened. Finding the causes of an accident and taking steps to control or eliminate it can help prevent similar accidents from happening in the future.
Accidents can happen due to a combination of various factors:
- Work Environment
- Job Constraints
- Supervisory or Worker Inexperience
- others
These factors must be examined to determine what role each had in causing the accident. Investigators must collect information on the events that took place before and during the event.
