 Questions
WHERE
 Where did the accident occur? In a construction
 Where was the person at the time of the accident? I was
spray painting the ground to map out the area
 Where was the supervisor at that time? There was no
safety observer on the job
WHEN
 When did the accident occur? While working on a
construction site
WHO
 Who was injured? The surveyor
 Who was working with the injured person? other
colleagues such as engineers
 Who else was involved? only the surveyor
WHAT
How could this accident have been prevented? It could have been
avoided with a working backup alarm, it is almost imperceptible due
to ambient noise, so as an added safety measure there is also a
spotter on site wearing a reflective vest. Also with an internal traffic
control plan.
WHAT
 What safety standards were being followed? standards The
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
 What were the injuries? She died from injuries
WHY
 Why was the person injured? Why was there not a safety observer
on the job?
 Why did the person do what they did? The driver didn't see
anyone in his mirrors, so he backed away. The driver's backup alarm
was not working, so the surveyor did not hear the scraper
approaching. When the driver backed up, he hit the surveyor.
