Incident Investigation: Learn From Today, Prevent Tomorrow

 Incident Investigation: Learn From Today, Prevent Tomorrow

Caption:

Every incident has a cause. Every cause can be prevented. 

But only if we investigate it the right way.

The 7-Step Incident Investigation Process:

1️⃣ *Receive & Identify* – Report immediately, record details  

2️⃣ *Secure the Scene* – People first, then preserve evidence  

3️⃣ *Gather Information* – Witnesses, logs, photos, workplace  

4️⃣ *Analyze the Causes* – Immediate, underlying, root causes  

5️⃣ *Determine Root Cause* – Fix the real problem, not symptoms  

6️⃣ *Recommend Corrective Actions* – Practical, assigned, deadlines  

7️⃣ *Implement, Follow Up & Share* – Verify it works, share lessons  

*Remember:* We don’t investigate to blame, we investigate to understand.

An incident is a sign that our controls failed. Investigate it well. Learn from it. Prevent it.

*Goal: Zero Harm, Zero Repeat.* 

STOP → THINK → INVESTIGATE → LEARN → PREVENT
