To advance our members’ standards of excellence, in conjunction with EESIP, we are sharing valuable accident investigation resources from NECA and OSHA, on the best practices for what to do when an accident occurs, how to navigate an accident incident report, and a systematic approach to identify the root cause of accidents and prevent future occurrences.
Excerpted from the NECA NYC Safety Program, it is a working document designed to act as a reference guide if an incident occurs.
A more thorough NECA-produced guidebook which explores in-depth the process and goals of incident investigations.
This is a clear and well-written OSHA publication to provide employers with a systems approach to help identify and control the underlying (or root) causes of all incidents to prevent their recurrence.
