An accident prevention expert may compare an identified hazard with the safeguards that were available, selected, implemented, and maintained. In occupational settings, the analysis may include the hierarchy of controls—elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment—and whether the combination of measures was appropriate for the particular hazard. The expert may also consider whether higher-order controls were feasible and whether controls that depended on warnings, procedures, training, or worker behavior were adequately supported and maintained.
Prior incidents, complaints, near misses, inspection findings, and recurring hazard reports can provide information about whether similar hazards or warning signs had been identified before the event being analyzed. An expert may examine whether those records led to additional hazard assessment, interim safeguards, corrective action, or follow-up and whether identified hazards and corrective measures were tracked or addressed before the incident occurred.
Accident prevention focuses on identifying hazards and selecting and maintaining measures intended to eliminate or reduce risk before an incident occurs. Accident investigation examines an incident or near miss after it occurs to identify the circumstances, contributing factors, underlying hazards, and potential corrective measures. Investigation findings can inform future prevention efforts, but prevention and investigation serve different primary functions.
