Learner exposure refers to the potential for an individual or group to be affected by a hazardous situation or unsafe condition that led to an incident, essentially meaning the level of risk they were exposed to during the event, which could have resulted in injury, property damage, or other negative consequences.
The primary learning objective of an incident investigation is to identify the root causes of an incident, analyze the contributing factors, and develop corrective actions to prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future; essentially, to learn from past mistakes and implement changes to improve safety and prevent future occurrences.
