Accident/Incident/Near Miss Investigation continued

The goal in an accident investigation is to:

  • Satisfy legal requirements (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health—NIOSH, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration—OSHA).
  • Find out what happened and determine immediate and underlying causes.
  • Rethink the safety hazard.
  • Introduce ways to prevent a reoccurrence.
  • Establish training needs.
