The information collected from change analyses and job safety analyses should be used for ______.

• A. Incident investigation reports
• B. Daily operations planning
• C. Training records
• D. Procurement decisions

Answer: (A)

When you perform change analyses and job safety analyses, you’re documenting hazards, controls, and how work was supposed to be done versus what actually happened. That trail is exactly what helps an incident investigation uncover how a change or a deviation contributed to the incident, whether the controls worked as intended, and what needs to be fixed. Including this information in incident investigation reports provides a solid basis for identifying root causes and setting effective corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

The same data can inform other areas like planning or training, but its primary, most direct use is in documenting findings for incident investigations.
