Accurate reconstruction of the facts and causes surrounding accidents is critical if the mining
industry is to learn from incidents and prevent future events. Effective accident investigation and
training are essential in order to accomplish this, while providing a record of the incident in order
to help in explaining the situation to people unconnected to the event itself. Over a number of
years there have been considerable innovations in survey instrumentation and software used to
record data. However, the final deliverable data has remained the same, with surveyors tasked to
represent a 3D environment using 2D deliverables. This paper explores the benefits that can be
obtained using 3D data capture and representation with regard to accident investigation with
discussion on accuracy, time, witness verification and reduction in human error.
