About the Incident Investigations Course

Incident investigation training teaches professionals how to systematically analyze accidents, near misses, and safety hazards to find their root causes, not just immediate causes, using techniques like evidence collection, interviewing, and root cause analysis (e.g., 5 Whys, Barrier Analysis), to develop effective corrective actions, implement preventive measures, improve workplace safety, and meet regulatory requirements. Key components include planning the investigation, gathering data (people, parts, paper), analyzing causes (human factors, systemic issues), recommending fixes, reporting findings, and following up.

What You Will Learn in Incident Investigations

In an incident investigation, you learn a systematic process to find the root causes (not just immediate causes) of accidents or near-misses by collecting evidence, conducting objective interviews, and using causal analysis techniques, leading to effective corrective actions, hazard control, and thorough reporting to prevent future occurrences and improve overall safety and performance.

Who Should Take Incident Investigations

The target audience for an incident investigation includes investigators (supervisors, safety officers, trained employees/reps) seeking to find root causes, and report recipients (management, HR, leadership) needing information for corrective action, plus external parties like regulators or legal counsel; the actual interviewees are witnesses, involved personnel, and experts who saw or understand the event. The investigation's scope determines the specific audience, from internal teams preventing recurrence to legal bodies seeking accountability.
