What this lesson covers
This lesson covers why and how to investigate incidents and near misses, the 8-hour and 24-hour OSHA reporting clocks, the root-cause questions to ask, and how to close the loop with corrective action. It matters because the exam tests reporting edge cases and the difference between a rule and a recommendation.
