  31. Summing up • This is an example of an accident investigation in which the UN investigators had little or no relevant experience. They avoided drawing obvious conclusions and criticised the victim’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal training, suggesting that this aspect of his training was at fault. • They did not know about the organisation’s previous accident with the same mine, and ignored the damaged Leatherman hand tool at the accident site. • The causes reveal faults in staff preparation that needed to be addressed to ensure that unnecessary risks were not taken again.
