A detailed accident analysis is essential to fully understand the causes of an incident and to minimize future risks. Such analyses require a systematic approach that takes into account all relevant information from various sources. These include, among other things, guidelines, regulations, standards, documents (operating instructions) from the manufacturer, and interviews with design engineers, operating and maintenance personnel. This information is compiled to create a well-founded and objective analysis.
During the analysis, particular emphasis is placed on avoiding personal opinions and subjective assessments. Instead, the relevant legal principles and standards are used to guarantee an objective and comprehensible assessment. This also includes precise reference to relevant legal passages to ensure that all aspects of the incident are assessed in the context of the applicable regulations.
The findings obtained serve as a basis for the preparation of private expert opinions or expert opinions for authorities and insurance companies. These expert opinions serve several purposes: they can be used to comply with official regulations and at the same time provide valuable information for necessary adjustments to the safety concept of the affected plant or machine.
Particular importance is attached to prevention after near-misses. A near-miss provides an opportunity to identify potential hazards at an early stage and to prevent future accidents by taking appropriate measures. To this end, the causes of such incidents are analyzed in detail and specific recommendations for risk reduction are developed based on the results.
The expert reports are clearly structured to enable users – whether technical managers, managing directors or representatives of public authorities – to easily and transparently understand them. The documented results are designed to serve as a basis for long-term safety improvements. In this way, the expert reports also help to fulfill legal requirements and ensure a high level of safety in operations.
