– BE IMPARTIAL & OBJECTIVE– COMPILE PROCEDURES & RULES FOR
THE AREA– GATHER MAINTENANCE RECORDS ON
EQUIPMENT INVOLVED
![Page 25: INCIDENT INVESTIGATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061410/568140ae550346895dac6ef4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

OCCURRED? HOW WERE YOU TRAINED FOR THE JOB? WHAT IS THE SAFETY PROCEDURE FOR THIS
JOB?

Are we to leave our children a country ridden with accidents and their corresponding burden of human and economic loss?
Or . . . can we prove that as Americans, we can progress, both technically and morally, to provide our citizens with a life and work style worthy of the sufferings, sacrifices and expectations of our founding fathers?
