| Abstract |
Accident investigation and analysis practices are described in literature and in occupational safety and health management systems as an essential prevention activity. Although there are numerous literature references describing the main investigation techniques, none of the approaches appear to have been universally adopted and their implementation remains mostly undocumented. The overall objective of this study was to better understand how accident investigation and analysis is carried out by studying the practices of a number of Quebec businesses, in order to identify good practices and possible improvements. Findings are discussed. |
