Purpose and Extent of The Investigation (SO2-AC1)

The purpose and extent of the investigation are to explore in detail the wrongdoing and to determine what happened, what were the causes, who was responsible, what actions should be taken to correct the current situation, and what actions should be taken to ensure that similar wrongdoing does not occur in the future. Examine the evidence in-depth, and determine specifically whether misconduct has been committed, and the seriousness of the misconduct.

When incidents are investigated, the emphasis should be concentrated on finding the root cause of the accident so you can prevent it from happening again. The purpose is to find facts that can lead to actions, not to find fault. Always look for deeper causes. Do not simply record the steps of the event.
