Could you be asked to investigate an accident that happened in your department? Would you know how to go about it? And, having determined the causes, minimise the chances of it happening again? Anyone who may be asked to investigate an accident is welcome, but it is particularly relevant to those who supervise and manage others and Departmental Safety Officers.
