Course raises awareness
The training yesterday has raised your awareness of the importance of identifying and controlling risks before harm
occurs

Things may go wrong
However, sometimes things may go wrong. You need to know what to do on these occasions, and how to learn from
them

DEF: Incident
An incident could be described as an undesired event that doesn’t result in harm, but has the potential to do so

Prevent from happening
Accidents and incidents should be investigated to identify the cause so that it can be prevented from happening again

Reasons to investigate
Other reasons to investigate accidents and incidents include:
• collecting information for insurance purposes
• determining the cost of an accident
• collecting the required information for notifying authorities
![Page 14: Accident /Incident Investigation Paul Thornton. ---==== START ====--- Loading complete!](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102713/56649da95503460f94a96aaf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reasons to investigate
Key benefits of investigation:
• developing useful skills andknowledge that can beapplied throughoutthe organisation
• making a safer work environment
• improving worker morale
• preventing further business losses from disruption, down-time and lost business

Incidents need investigations
Remember: incidents that don’t result in harm or loss still need to be reported and investigated.

Remember: incidents that don’t result in harm or loss still need to be reported and investigated.
An incident might result in more serious consequences if it were to happen again

Finding the Cause of Accidents
Accident investigation allows us to find out the cause of an
accident or incident.
However, accidents and incidents are rarely caused by a single factor – there are usually several contributory factors.
Also, these factors will include obvious and immediate causes and less obvious underlying causes.
![Page 23: Accident /Incident Investigation Paul Thornton. ---==== START ====--- Loading complete!](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102713/56649da95503460f94a96aaf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Immediate causes
Are unsafe actions or lack of action (for example, operating equipment with missing guards and bypassing interlocks,
using the wrong personal protective equipment) and unsafe conditions (for example, damaged tools and equipment
and high noise and low lighting levels).

Underlying Causes
Are factors that allow the unsafe actions and conditions to happen.
The majority of these are related to the way the organisation manages health and safety and how people perceive risk

Root Causes
A root cause is a factor that may cause conditions that could result in an undesirable event. If the problem were corrected, it’d prevent the undesirable event from happening.
In other words, a root cause is an event from which all other causes spring.

Getting it right
Getting it right:
• Investigation is about avoiding it happening again, not attributing blame
• Having plans in place before an accident will help for an effective investigation
• Sharing the findings is as important as ensuring the quality of the investigation
