What type of accident investigation there are many different types dependant on the work involved, ie, construction, engineering, manufacturing, transport etc..

What type of investigation?
There are three generally recognised investigations - immediate, local and formal. Each one will be proportionate although they often follow on from the other.
There is the usual W's - When, what, where, who and why. If you want to embellish it a bit, then you could include what type of evidence you might look for in an investigation, site induction, method statement, RA, task brief, training certs and so on.
How would you conduct interviews and take witness statements, etc.

Hi - I presume you are the interviewee rather than the interviewer?
Again presuming that you have experience of carrying out investigations - it would be good to talk through an incident (anonymised) how you approached it and your findings / changes made.
Employers are usually looking for practical application as much as theoretical knowledge.
I always find that photos/pictures are really good as a talking point - rather than lots of words!

I like to use a very strong lamp shining into their eyes and then stand behind it so I am just a shadowy figure, and mutter things like 'we have ways of making you talk' works wonders and it's practical.

You also need to use the good cop / bad cop technique. One makes the person feel comfortable and the other does a lot of shouting. Great fun.

Another good one to use is the con trick, you tell that no further action will be taken and when they tell you that they didn't follow the correct procedure or risk assessment, sack them! The look on thier faces is priceless as they walk through the door.

AtEqT the risk of appearing obvious, why not use one of your actual company accidents as a starting point (leaving out sensitive & confidential data)?

First- Assign someone as note taker
Do not use heavy words, e.g we are not hereto "blame"
Ask Open questions/ Do not make assumptions
Use Cognitive Interviewing Techniques( google this , you will now how you should use this technique)
