Accident Investigation
Suppose an accident occurs in your facility and you are the one who has to investigate it, what do you do?
• Keep in mind that all accidents should be investigated as soon as possible.
• A good, thorough investigation needs to be conducted so that future occurrences can be prevented.
8PPT-001-02
![Page 9: ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION- REPORTING-PREVENTION Bureau of Workers’ Comp PA Training for Health & Safety (PATHS) For Safety Committee Members, Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0121a28abf838ccbf91/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The aim of the investigation
Is Not To:
• Exonerate individuals or management
• Satisfy insurance requirements
• Defend a position for legal argument
• Assign blame
Remember, fact finding – not fault finding

Accident Investigation – Steps Involved
• First and foremost, provide first
aid/medical care to the injured party.
• Identify the cause of the accident.
• Report the findings (using the appropriate accident/injury report).

Remember – Time is of the essence!
As little time as possible should pass between the moment of the accident and the start of the investigation!
Starting the investigation a.s.a.p. after the accident occurs enables a supervisor or manager to:
• Observe conditions as they were at the time of the accident.
• Prevent disturbance of evidence.
• Identify witnesses. 12PPT-001-02

Accident Causes
What are the causes of an accident? There are two basic causes of accidents:
• Unsafe Acts, and
• Unsafe Conditions
13PPT-001-02
![Page 14: ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION- REPORTING-PREVENTION Bureau of Workers’ Comp PA Training for Health & Safety (PATHS) For Safety Committee Members, Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0121a28abf838ccbf91/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Unsafe Acts vs. Unsafe Conditions
80-90 percent of all accidents are caused by unsafe acts of people, as opposed to unsafe mechanical or physical conditions.
Human failure is the primary cause of accidents!

Accident Causes
Causes of any accident can be grouped into five (5) basic categories:
•Task
•Material
•Environment
•Personnel
•Management
19PPT-001-02
![Page 20: ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION- REPORTING-PREVENTION Bureau of Workers’ Comp PA Training for Health & Safety (PATHS) For Safety Committee Members, Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0121a28abf838ccbf91/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Task
In this category, the actual work procedure being performed at the time of the accident is looked at.
•Was a safe work procedure used?
•Did conditions change to make the normal procedure unsafe?
•Were the appropriate tools and materials available and used?
•Were safety devices (example: machine guards) in place and working properly?

Accident Prevention
Accidents can be prevented by
early detection, reporting and
abating!
38PPT-001-02
![Page 39: ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION- REPORTING-PREVENTION Bureau of Workers’ Comp PA Training for Health & Safety (PATHS) For Safety Committee Members, Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0121a28abf838ccbf91/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Hazard Recognition
Detection/identification of hazards before they cause injuries is important. To accomplish this, conduct periodic “walk around” inspections looking for items such as:
• Slip, trip and fall hazards (e.g., wires across a walk way)
• Broken/damaged equipment (e.g., stool with a broken leg)
• Exposed electrical wiring (e.g., frayed electrical cord)• Machinery with missing guards (e.g., cutting
machine with missing blade guard.)• Damaged PPE (e.g., gloves with rips/tears)

Report Hazards
• Once hazards have been identified, they need to be reported to the appropriate area (e.g., broken floor tile that could cause a trip and fall should be reported to building maintenance for repair).
• Safety officer, safety committee or maintenance department should keep a log of items reported and follow up to ensure hazards reported have been corrected.

![Page 41: ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION- REPORTING-PREVENTION Bureau of Workers’ Comp PA Training for Health & Safety (PATHS) For Safety Committee Members, Supervisors](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0121a28abf838ccbf91/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Hazard Abatement
• Hazard abatement = The elimination or reduction of a safety/health hazard by complying with applicable safety and health standards or taking equivalent protective measures.
• Take the steps necessary to abate hazards; this will provide a safer environment for employees, contractors and visitors alike.

Accident Prevention
Here are some ways to prevent accidents:
• Ensure work areas are not cluttered and trash is removed regularly.
• Provide necessary training/retraining for all employees.
• Ensure that necessary controls are in place [engineering (e.g., machine guarding), administrative (e.g., labels/signs), PPE (e.g., safety goggles)].
• Have spills cleaned up immediately.

You are the Key!
• Safety committee members, supervisors and managers are truly the first line of defense in accident prevention!
• Committee members, supervisors and managers must realize that their actions and attitudes regarding injury/accident prevention and safety in general have a very big impact on how “safety conscious” employees are.

You are the Key! (cont.)
• If committee members/managers/supervisors place safety and accident prevention on the back burner, tolerate unsafe acts or conditions, conduct poor accident investigations and/or only “talk safety” employees are likely to disregard safety and suffer on-the-job injuries or illnesses.
• As a safety committee member, supervisor or manager you can contribute to making your company a safe, injury-free place to work or visit!
