- Make mental or written notes about the accident before the investigation starts.

Accident Investigation – Why is it so Important?
Have you ever seen something unsafe – and not done anything about it? All unsafe acts or conditions should be reported to your supervisor immediately, even if no one was hurt! If you don’t report it, someone could get hurt – and that someone maybe you or your co-worker.
