DOC 90 / 25 - Incident Investigation and Accident Prevention
Incident investigation, analysis and understanding the causes of such events is a critical element of safety management.ย For any organisation, the overriding purpose in carrying out incident investigation is to understand why an incident happened to improve the management of health and safety and prevent similar incidents happening in the future.[1]
Figure 1 is based on EIGA membersโ work injury statistics (2012-2023) and it illustrates the general experience that human behaviours and/or the person carrying out the task were frequently identified as the cause of an incident.ย However, a deeper investigation often reveals that one of the underlying root causes of such incidents is often a โlack of management controlโ due to inadequacies in the safety management system, standards, compliance, monitoring of work, etc.ย [2]ย [3]
