“This was course was amazing. Instead of teaching us with death by powerpoint, you transformed the session into a giant game of cluedo, with us trying to figure out what factors caused the incident. It was fun, interactive, and felt very very real. And I can totally see how this skill will transfer to other business functions.”
Benefits of the Incident and Accident Investigation Training
This course will give your staff and managers the skills they need to carry out non-technical investigations of incidents in their workplace. These skills will be even more effective when the individuals are formed into teams with technical skills, such as engineering.
The course focuses on helping your investigators understand how to identify the root causes of incidents, and also that the root causes of health and safety incidents are often the same root causes of quality defects, breakdowns, production delays, and other, wider, organisational problems.
Incident investigation is a transferable skill, meaning that the skills developed in this course will also be of use during other types of investigation e.g. disciplinaries, grievances, quality defects, complaints, etc.
From a wider viewpoint, this course has proven useful in helping reinforce a positive health and safety culture within organisations, by emphasising the value to the organisation of rectifying the root causes of incidents and how this can support the organisation’s growth.
