Incident and occurrence investigation is a major component of the organisation’s safety management system. It is an essential ingredient of the overall risk management process. The safety management value of the investigation is proportional to the quality of the investigative effort.
Identifying the lessons to be learned from incidents and safety occurrence requires an understanding of not just what happened, but why it happened.

As investigations are often carried out by a single person, the organisation should ensure that investigators possess the necessary skills, experience and support to carry out their duties.
