safety investigations

Safety investigations are systematic processes used to determine the causes of accidents or incidents, particularly in industries like aviation, healthcare, and transportation. These investigations examine what went wrong, identify contributing factors, and assess whether safety protocols were followed. The goal is to gather information that can prevent future occurrences, protect lives, and improve safety practices. Investigators collect data through interviews, inspections, and analysis of equipment or procedures, ultimately providing recommendations for enhancing safety and minimizing risks. The emphasis is on learning from events rather than assigning blame.
