incident investigations

Incident investigations involve examining events surrounding an accident or problem to determine what happened, why it occurred, and how to prevent it in the future. The goal is to gather facts objectively, analyze causes—whether human, process, or environmental—and identify improvements. This structured process helps organizations learn from incidents, enhance safety, and reduce the risk of recurrence. Effective investigations are thorough, unbiased, and focused on finding solutions rather than assigning blame, ensuring a safer environment for everyone involved.
