INCIDENT INVESTIGATION


Jurisdictional safety authorities, administrators and regulators have consistently recognized that Incident Investigation is a critical element of an effective Safety Management System. Potential for death, injury, property damage, environmental and/or reputational impacts can result from accidents because THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED TO WORK. Investigating incidents and near misses is investing in the future of an organization and demonstrating determination to find cause and prevent recurrence. This “taking control’ approach shows that an organization wants to fix problems and not place blame and can engender a culture which spills into other business areas.
