Steps in accident investigation:
- Immediate response: Ensure safety at the scene, provide medical attention if necessary & secure the area to preserve evidence
- Data collection: Collect all relevant information, physical evidence, witness statements, photographs & any available data
- Process for analysis: Reconstruct the sequence of events, analyze root causes & formulate conclusions about why the incident occurred
