Abstract
The Workplace incident investigation methodology has typically developed alongside our understanding of accident causation and the ever-evolving associated models. The research-practice gap that has existed and continues to exist, presents an interesting area for discussion and future research. Through analysis of literature in the field of incident/accident investigation methodologies, this paper focuses on a number of models in the context of practice within a small to mid-sized enterprise and in particular looks at what can be considered as best practice for such an enterprise.
