What is accident investigation?
Accident investigation is the process of examining workplace incidents such as personal injuries, near misses, or property damage. This process identifies what happened, why it happened, and how similar events can be prevented in future.
A well-structured investigation looks beyond immediate causes to uncover underlying issues in systems, procedures, or human factors. The aim is not to assign blame, but to learn lessons, strengthen risk controls, and ensure legal compliance under health and safety legislation.

Every accident, near miss, or dangerous occurrence should be investigated as soon as possible after the event. Early investigation helps gather reliable evidence, meet reporting duties (such as RIDDOR), and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Investigations should be conducted by a competent, impartial person, ideally an external health and safety consultant. Using professional accident investigation services ensures objectivity, accurate analysis, and compliance with legal standards.
Accident investigation is a structured process used to analyse how and why a workplace incident occurred. It identifies the root causes and contributing factors so that lessons can be learned and future risks prevented.
