Scientific literature strongly emphasizes the need for investigating incidents. The e-Hazard Safety Cycle™ includes incident investigations as a key element. When harm or loss occurs, an incident is known as an “accident”. When harm or loss does not occur, but could have occurred under different circumstances, these types of incidents are known as near misses, sometimes called near hits. Much can be learned from near misses, and they provide the best context for learning, as no harm or loss was incurred by the organization. The “Incident Investigation” element must be integrated into both the “Electrical Safety Program” (ESP) element and the organization’s safety management system.
