Accident Investigation <br /> Procedures for investigating workplace accidents, hazardous substance exposures, <br /> and near misses include: <br /> 1. Interviewing injured workers and witnesses; <br /> 2. Examining the workplace for factors associated with the accident/exposure; <br /> 3. Determining the most probable cause of the accident/exposure; <br /> 4. Taking corrective action to prevent the accident/exposure from re-occurring; <br /> and <br /> 5. Recording the findings and actions taken. It should not be to affix blame. <br /> Each contributing factor should be traced back to its root cause. A written report <br /> that describes the accident and its causes and recommendations for corrective <br /> action and prevention will be prepared and presented to management. <br /> The ultimate goal of the investigation is to determine the basic and root causes and <br /> to determine appropriate corrective action so the incident does not happen again. <br /> To simply attribute an accident to "employee error,"without further consideration of <br /> the basic causes, deprives the organization of the opportunity to take real preventive <br /> action. Possible use of engineering controls, improved work practices and <br /> administrative controls should be considered to help employees do their jobs safely. <br /> Management practices may also be considered as a possible basic factor. For <br /> example, if there is managerial or supervisory pressure to increase production or cut <br /> costs, employees may take unsafe shortcuts in work procedures or delay or skip <br /> necessary preventive maintenance. <br /> The Accident/Injury Investigation Form (Form SP 10) may be used. <br /> 12 <br />
