An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Incident Investigation Safety Program
Policy
Investigation of any accident is an important management tool for controlling accidents and their related costs. If something is not learned from an accident, it is a total loss. Something causes accidents. The reasons or basic root causes must be determined. The information that is learned can be used to improve the operation involved and make it more safe and efficient. It is, therefore, a policy of Replace with Company Name that the foreman (or RSO, Replace with Safety Person’s Name) investigates all injuries requiring a visit to a physician, clinic or hospital and any property damage incidents involving $500 or more or near misses that had the potential to result in an accident of this magnitude.
However, even if no report is submitted, all incidents, including "near misses," should be questioned using the same investigative techniques in order that corrective action may be taken to prevent a similar incident from occurring. While all incidents should be investigated, the extent of such investigation shall reflect the seriousness of the incident utilizing a root cause analysis process or other similar method. [1] <1>
Accidents are usually the result of conditions or actions that the supervisors and employees are often in the best position to control. An accident is simply an unplanned event that interrupts operations and results in loss of time, property damage or bodily injury. They usually arise from one of four areas: equipment, material, people or environment.
The Purpose of Accident Investigations
Millions of words have been written explaining the importance and purpose of accident investigations, but they can all be summarized in one word - prevention. There are many benefits from accident investigations, but one purpose - prevention.
