Scott Weller presents: Construction Site Hazards – Accident Investigation
An accident investigation is required whenever a serious accident happens on a construction job site to obtain accurate information about what has occurred. Questions that should be answered include:
What events led up to the accident?
Who was involved in the work?
Did anyone fail to follow procedures?
Did a piece of material or equipment fail?
By bringing all of the facts together, we can learn from the accident and ensure no similar accidents occur in the future. Accident investigations should never be conducted to affix blame, they are to be learned from by everyone involved.
Get involved in accident investigation and take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes to reduce accidents all together. Obviously the best way to reduce accidents is by detecting unsafe conditions and hazards prior to any accident taking place. Keep your eyes open and watch each others back out there!
