You might see over 100 of them as you ride to work. Signs — they are everywhere. How
many of these do you actually notice? Probably not many. That creates a problem.
Not only do signs litter the streets, but they may also be all over your workplace. Do you
see them? Do you notice them? Do they mean something, or do they just make the

Why do we investigate an accident? The reason is to obtain accurate information about what happened. What events led up to the accident; who was involved with the work; did anyone fail to follow procedures or did a piece of material or equipment fail?
