Effective Incident Investigation and Reporting

Investigating a work-site incident - a fatality, injury, illness, or close call - provides employers and workers the opportunity to identify hazards n their operations and shortcomings in their safety and health programs. Most importantly, it enables employers and workers to identify and implement the corrective actions necessary to prevent future incidents.

Incident investigations that focus on identifying and correcting root causes, not on finding fault or blame, also improve workplace morale and increase productivity, by demonstrating an employer’s commitment to a safe and healthful workplace.
