A prime objective of accident investigation is prevention. By finding the causes of an accident and taking steps to control or eliminate them, we can prevent similar accidents.
Work environment, job constraints, ans supervisory or worker experience can all play a part in an accident. These factors must be examined to determine what role (if any) each played in causing the accident. Once the causes are established, measures must be identified and implemented to prevent a recurrence.
Investigators must always keep in mind that effective accident investigation means fact-finding, not fault-finding.
Information on events before, during, and after the accident must be collected. Facts and events preceding an accident explain why and how the accident happened.
Investigators can determine aacident conditions by :
- Examining physical evidence
- Interviewing witnesses
