5.9 Principles of IncidentI Accident Investigation

The 3 principles of accident investigation on site are gathering information,

analysing the facts and making recommendations

Gathering Information

When investigating an accident, the investigator should either the basic fact from questions based on

 Who (was the injured) and others involved in the accident?

 Where (did the accident happen)?

 When (did the accident happen)?

 ask open-ended questions

 do not ask leading questions do not interrupt witnesses ask for any suggestionssummarize for the witness

 obtain written statements by interviewee

 Information can also be obtained by surveying the physical conditions of thesite When doing this, he will:

 Check the conditions and position of machinery/ equipment involved in theaccident ,assess the extent of damage , sketch the location of accident,position of machinery I equipment & prominent features and take relevantphotographs

 Existing records of statutory registrations, test certificates and inspection

checklist of machinery and I or equipment.

Analysing the Facts

With all the relevant information gathered, the investigator will proceed to analysethe facts he has at hand He will ask questions about the people, equipmentmaterial and environment:

People

Unsafe method of work?

Standard operating procedures?

Training I years of experience?

Making Recommendations

Once the investigator analysed the facts, he will look at the possible underlyingroot causes for the cause of accident His recommendations will cover preventivemeasures such as :

 Education and training &Safety Promotion

 Enforcement of rules & regulations I penalty fine

 Redeployment of workers & Periodical inspections

 Functional System I Subsystem I Procedures modifications
