Thousands of accidents occur throughout the United States every day. The failure of people, equipment, supplies, or surroundings to behave
or react as expected causes most of them. Accident investigations determine how and why these failures occur. By using the information gained through an
investigation, a similar, or perhaps more disastrous, accident may be prevented. It is important to conduct accident investigations with prevention in mind.
