To investigate is to learn and improve

A good investigation is a valuable learning tool:

to move beyond the "obvious" and unearth the very real problems that underpin incidents
and then to identify practical solutions to those problems.

Investigations are an essential part of Risk Management. As well as safety, investigations are equally valid for other business risks too

Why is it known as "Incident" Investigation?

An incident can be an “accident” OR a “near-miss” An accident – an unplanned or undesired event that resulted in harm to people, damage to equipment or a loss to the business.

In simple terms “Ouch! That hurt!” or even "That's going to be expensive"

Clearly, accidents should be investigated so as to understand the underlying problems if we are to prevent a future undesired event

A "near-miss"

An unplanned or undesired event that could have resulted in harm to people, damage to equipment or business losses.

In simple terms “Wow, that was close!”

Worth noting that this could also be called a “near hit!” Or, to put it another way – a free lesson that something is wrong -

“We got away with it today.” We might not get away with it tomorrow!
