Why Investigate Accidents? We should investigate accidents to identify the causes and determine what can be done to prevent a similar occurrence. We also have to obtain information to pursue or defend one of the following:
Civil Action including Litigation Cases or False Claims – (Remember there is less likelihood of false claims being made if employees are aware that incidents will be thoroughly investigated). This could include gathering information for Insurance companies.
Statute including investigations by Health & Safety Inspectors or the Police.
