ALL accidents & near misses MUST be investigated Nearly ALL accidents can be prevented - we should only blame God for about 2% of them, the rest is up to us. Accident Investigation is NOT a method of trying to establish blame - simply a method of identifying the causes in order to prevent a recurrence Accidents, injuries and illnesses cost Australia between 10 and 20 BILLION dollars per year. That is only the reported or “insured” costs. A ratio of 4:1 is regarded as the norm by industry experts - could this mean that there is actually between 40 and 80 billion dollars being spent every year ?
