Incident Investigation

Incident Investigation refers to the process of examining and analyzing an event or occurrence that resulted in, or could have resulted in, harm, damage, or other adverse effects. This systematic approach involves gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying the causes of the incident to understand what happened and why it occurred. The goal of incident investigation is to prevent future occurrences by discovering underlying issues, pinpointing failures in processes or systems, and recommending improvements. It often results in a written report detailing findings and suggesting corrective actions to enhance safety, compliance, and operational effectiveness. Incident investigations are commonly used in various fields, including workplace safety, healthcare, transportation, and law enforcement, to improve practices and foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
