General Safety – Signs

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
workplace look safer to the outsider?

An accident investigation is required whenever a serious incident
happens on the job.

The less time intervening between the accident and the investigation, the more accurate the information that can be obtained. Facts are more accurate because people have not had time to become biased by the opinions of others, memories are clearer, and more details are remembered.

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?
