How to Investigate a Lab Accident A first aid kit should have supplies for dressing of wound and injuries. Due to the highly dangerous laboratory environment, every lab should have first aid kits. Accidents are normally spontaneous. When they occur casualties will most likely be there. Part of preventing future accidents depends on the quality of investigations carried out. Recommendations from investigative reports have been used in the past to develop safety procedures in a lab. Site investigation and interviews are key I establishing the case of accidents. Data quality is crucial. No detail should be left out or ignored. The victims must give an accurate description of events. It is also important to obtain relevant information about the facility under investigation. Testing record of equipments in the lab should be obtained. This may give a clue of potential contributing factors. Ask open minded questions while investigating. This helps the witness to reflect on the events more accurately. Employee Vehicles Should Include Car Emergency Kit According OSHA regulations, large corporate vehicle fleet takes some management to keep safe and well prepared, especially if the cars are shared by a number of employees. If you are the administrator of such a fleet of vehicles, you need to make sure that each and every car includes a car emergency kit as a standard part of the check out procedure for the vehicle. The vehicle kits should include some food, water, and a blanket in case the driver becomes stranded somewhere. It should also include roadside flares that can be activated to warn other drivers.
