About Training
Most organizations have accident investigation procedures. However, these procedures are often based on a blame culture & do not inspire the investigator to nd & correct the defects in the management system (root causes analysis) that allowed the hazards to exist & the accident to occur.
Several industries have adopted excellent accident investigation & analysis techniques. Competence in the application of modern accident/incident investigation tools will assist organizations to learn & to prevent the recurrence of accidents & to evaluate the extent & location of management defects (root causes), which contributed to the accident event.
A good analytical accident investigation is invaluable to achieve continuous improvement in an organization’s HSE performance.
