INCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING

SUMMARY

            The objective of this Incident Investigation Program is to provide participants with the basics of conducting investigations and reporting incidents in addition to providing the opportunity for the participant’s to have an incident investigation drill. This will be achieved through the work groups creating an incident scenario and work through the process on-site via an incident investigation drill. This course provides the user with an overview of incident investigation. The motivation for this course is to outline a procedure of incident investigation that is objective and satisfies most regulatory requirements. Many incident investigations and reports are done with prejudice. Conclusions and recommendations are often predetermined to suit the goals of the investigators. This could occur intentionally or unintentionally. In this course an effort is made to present a means to minimize the bias that can enter an investigation. Also, an incident investigation procedure/format that is in general compliance with Legal, OSHA/EPA regulations is difficult to find. One can usually obtain from legal, OSHA or EPA an outline for an investigation procedure. These usually do not have much practical value in that they are usually for a specific regulation or simply outline the procedure that Legal, OSHA or EPA agents should use for their own investigations. Most facilities must comply with multiple investigation/reporting requirements as listed in various legal, OSHA and EPA regulations. Here is sample listing of regulations requiring incident reports and/or investigations - Sample Listing of Regulations Requiring Incident Reports. This course outlines a general procedure designed to comply with most legal, OSHA and EPA regulations. It is not possible to ensure compliance with ALL regulations; however, by following the guidelines in this course one should be able to follow legal regulations and minimize repeat investigations and reports.
