Incident Investigation and Lessons Learned
Incident investigation is essential to understand the root causes of accidents and prevent their recurrence. Lessons learned from incidents help improve safety procedures, equipment design, and operational practices. Organizations should establish a culture of reporting incidents and near misses to facilitate learning and continuous improvement.	Image Source
