Incidenskivizsgálat

Incidenskivizsgálat, or incident investigation, is a systematic process used to identify the root causes of an incident or accident. The primary goal is to prevent similar events from happening again by understanding what went wrong. This process typically begins after an incident has occurred and involves gathering information, analyzing the data, and developing corrective actions.

The investigation usually starts with securing the scene and preserving any evidence. Investigators then collect factual information through interviews with witnesses, examination of physical evidence, and review of relevant documents such as procedures, logs, and maintenance records. The information gathered is then analyzed to determine the sequence of events and identify contributing factors. This analysis often goes beyond immediate causes to uncover underlying systemic issues.

Root cause analysis is a critical component of incidenskivizsgálat. Techniques like the "5 Whys" or fault tree analysis are employed to drill down to the fundamental reasons behind the incident, rather than just addressing superficial symptoms. Once root causes are identified, recommendations for corrective and preventive actions are developed. These actions aim to eliminate or mitigate the identified risks.

The findings and recommendations are typically documented in a report, which is then shared with relevant stakeholders. Implementation of the recommended actions is crucial for the effectiveness of the investigation process. Incidenskivizsgálat is a fundamental practice in many fields, including occupational safety, aviation, healthcare, and IT security, to enhance safety, improve performance, and learn from mistakes.
