Incident Investigations for Accidents & Near Misses

Overview: The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates almost 3 million on-the-job injuries occur each year in the U.S., and approximately 4,500 workers lose their lives due to workplace accidents.
OSHA recommends (and in some cases, requires) employers to conduct investigations of all incidents (including accidents and near misses) to identify the root cause and to keep similar events from happening again.
