Incidents by Root Cause

One of the biggest challenges facing incident investigators
is to determine what is relevant to what happened, how it
happened, and especially why it happened. Both OSHA and
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) urge employers to
conduct a root cause analysis following an incident.
How It’s Calculated

There are many methods that are used to conduct a root cause
analysis, but the main objective is to identify:
