This presentation is about investigation of an incident. It

explains how to carry out an investigation, including

things to look for. It also gives instructions on what

information to report. The reason of an accident

investigation is to stop injuries by finding the root cause

of the accident so it doesn’t happen again.

Employees must know that they must report any

accident or illness no matter how small it might be.

Know how and where to report any emergency.

Root Cause is the main objective. Finding out what

happened is the bottom line, not who did it.

pump while being worked on

and any follow-up visit for the purpose of

observation of minor scratches, cuts, burns,

splinters, and so forth, which do not ordinarily

require medical care.

• Put band aid on cut finger

• Remove something from eye

recordable if they involve:

• Deaths

• Injuries - All occupational injuries resulting in any of

the following:

Restricted duty

Days away from work

Medical treatment

– Fracture of a bone

– Prescription of pain medication

DEFINITION




Why must we report all injuries no matter how

small?

• Injury infection

• Documentation

• Workman’s Compensation

REPORTING INJURIES




Unplanned event which results in mishap

(personal injury or property damage)

Incidents are the result of the failure of people,

equipment, materials, or environment to react as

expected

All incidents have

consequences or

outcomes

WHAT IS AN INCIDENT




We don’t want it to happen again!

WHY DO WE INVESTIGATE?




Who participates in an investigation?

• Obviously, the person doing the investigation will participate.

• Anyone who has information, no matter how small they feel it is,

should report it to investigators.

INCIDENT INVESTIGATION




The Big Three - reasons for not wanting to

participate in an accident investigation are:

• Don’t have time

• No big deal (no one was injured)

• Place Blame

Why do we investigate?

• We are trying to learn from

contributing factors and root causes

in order to minimize recurrence.

Purpose is not to place blame!





Purpose of Incident Investigation

• Determine the sequences of events leading to failure

– time line

• Identify the cause of the Incident

• Making event a learning

experience (how to improve)

• Fact Finding –

not Fault Finding





Consequences of Incidents



Direct Consequences

1. Personal injury

2. Property loss

Indirect Consequences

1. Lost income

2. Medical expenses

3. Time to retrain another

person

4. Decreased employee

morale



Why are we investigating?

• We are trying to learn from mistakes and stop

reoccurrences of incidents

• Not to place blame





Bottom line is:

Stop Injuries
