14. Overview Information While all agencies have agreed to follow the ISAI Guide, your individual agencies may have handbooks, guides, and established policies that will help you during your investigation. It’s important to remember to use the appropriate guide for your agency as there are specific processes and formats that need to be followed. There may be other agency review processes that exist i.e. Accident Prevention Analysis, Facilitated Learning Analysis; this course only addresses the Interagency Serious Accident Investigation process.

18. Overview Information From previous classes, we have learned that you will have questions early in the session that are answered in lessons later in the course. This can be frustrating for you if all you hear from us is “We‘ll get to that question later.” We want to give you a quick overview of the course so you can understand how the investigation process works and where your questions will be answered.

19. Overview Information We have developed an accident investigation process chart. It is located on the wall for you to reference during the class and we have included a copy on your Flash Drive. The course is chronological in nature, so it takes you from start to finish in a sequential manner, as you would experience it during an investigation. Here is the process (Exhibit 1-1):
