Abstract
Accidents and occupational diseases are directly associated with the conditions of work and the hazards existing in the work environment. Work conditions analyses are conducted when employees are accepted to work at a given position, and also when solutions preventing accidents and occupational diseases are implemented. Despite the solutions, workplace accidents still occur. Hence, to prevent accidents of similar causes, it is necessary to know the causes and the conditions in which an accident occurred, and then take actions which will stop similar accidents from happening in the future. The article discusses the basic division of causes of accidents, basic methodology of investigating accidents with WAIT and TOL methods and presents examples of their applications.
