A Severe Injury Fatality report is a comprehensive documentation and investigation process initiated following a workplace incident resulting in a fatality or severe injury. It aims to determine the cause of the event, identify any violations of safety and health standards, and prevent future occurrences [1] [2].

Key aspects of a Severe Injury Fatality report include:

• Investigation: A thorough investigation is conducted by trained professionals to determine the cause of the event and whether any violations occurred [1] [2].
• Documentation: The process involves gathering detailed information about the incident, including personal data of the victim, incident data, equipment or processes involved, witness statements, and relevant safety and health programs [3].
• Reporting: The findings are documented in various reports, such as the Fatality/Catastrophe Report form and the Investigation Summary Report, which are used to track and analyze the event [2] [4].
• Review: Cases involving fatalities or catastrophes undergo pre-citation review to ensure proper development and documentation [5].
• Abatement: The report also focuses on verifying that the employer has taken corrective actions to prevent similar incidents from happening again [5].

The goal is to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, identify any contributing factors, and implement measures to prevent similar events in the future [1] [2].
