- The Investigator will need to survey the scene of the accident to determine what happen, some of the things to consider when surveying the scene are: Ensure the scene is secure that there are no further chance of injury occurring. Investigate with someone who is familiar with the workplace and explain layout and function. Have someone account for all workers at the location. Identify if anyone might be missing. Begin to identify all key hazards. Take pictures, and draw if possible, obtain documentation. Be attuned and your senses when investigating. Appraise and account for any physical damage to the work environment.
