Accident Investigations
The first priority whenever an accident occurs is to deal with the emergency and ensure that any injuries or illnesses receive prompt medical attention. The accident investigation should begin immediately thereafter. This ensures that details of what occurred will be fresh in people’s minds and that witnesses don’t influence one another by talking about the accident. It also minimizes the likelihood that important evidence is not moved, lost, taken, destroyed, or thrown away before the scene has been thoroughly inspected.
Accident Types
Accidents fall into two categories, serious and non-serious. Non-serious accidents do not cause lost workdays even though the worst that could happen did happen. Examples of these include paper cuts, minor scratches or abrasions, or system failures that have minor consequences, such as a low-pressure hose that ruptures and sprays cool water. Serious accidents include both those which did involve lost workdays and those which might have. This second type of serious accident is called a "near miss."
