Course Details
51 - The Training Institute's Incident Investigations course is a self-paced online program that teaches the knowledge and skills needed to conduct effective workplace incident investigations. Through this self-paced online training you will learn a systematic incident investigation process for events ranging from injuries and property damage to environmental releases and near-miss events. The curriculum builds practical skills in evidence collection, witness interviews, timeline development, and causal factor analysis so you can look past surface symptoms to the underlying issues. A central focus is root cause analysis, which helps you identify the system weaknesses and organizational factors behind an incident rather than assign blame. You will also learn to develop corrective and preventive actions and to prepare clear, comprehensive investigation reports that document findings and support workplace safety improvements. Practical exercises and real-world case studies let you apply these investigation methodologies to realistic workplace scenarios.
Because the course is delivered entirely online through the TTI learning management system, you can complete every module and the final assessment at your own pace on any current web browser. It is designed for supervisors, safety professionals, and EHS team members who are responsible for conducting or participating in workplace incident investigations. The program covers about 1.5 contact hours of instruction and awards 0.15 IACET CEU plus a certificate of completion when all requirements are met. Enroll today to sharpen your near-miss reporting and root cause analysis skills and help build a safer, more prevention-focused workplace.
