Incident Investigation Techniques

Incident investigation techniques are systematic methods used to identify the causes of an event that has gone wrong, such as an accident or safety issue. These techniques involve collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing circumstances surrounding the incident to understand what happened and why. Tools like root cause analysis help determine underlying issues that contributed to the incident. The goal is not only to understand what went wrong but also to prevent similar occurrences in the future, ultimately enhancing safety and improving processes.
