Let’s overview steps of accident investigation

• Identify the incident

The first step in conducting a successful incident investigation is to recognize when an incident has occurred so that it can be investigated appropriately.

The heart of the issue is that members of an operating investigation team all share a common language that supports their investigation objectives efficiently and accurately.

• Investigation Team

The second step in conducting a thorough investigation is to assemble a qualified team to determine and analyze the facts of the incident. This team’s charter, using appropriate investigative techniques and methodologies, is to reveal the true underlying root causes.

• Investigative Techniques

Fault Tree - Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) provides a structured method for determining the causes of an incident. The fault tree itself is a graphic model that displays the various combinations of equipment failures and human errors that can result in an incident.

Fishbone Diagram - The fishbone diagram is a simple tool that allows quick and effective root causes to be understood, in the pursuit of corrective actions. In a fishbone diagram, the various causes are grouped into categories and the causes cascade from the main categories, flowing towards the effect, forming what resembles a fishbone appearance.

• Report Generation

The third step in incident investigation is to generate a report detailing facts, findings & recommendations. Typically, recommendations are written to reduce risk by:

• Improving the process technology
• Upgrading the operating or maintenance procedures or practices and upgrading the management systems.

After the investigation is completed and the findings and recommendations are issued in the report, a system must be in place to implement those recommendation.
