An incident is any unplanned or undesired event that negatively impacts or could have impacted your facility's operations. The primary incident areas most commonly monitored are personal safety, environmental, process safety, product quality, reliability, or security of assets. Assets include people, property, equipment, environment, and the surrounding community.
Incident Investigation programs are often-times perceived as a necessary evil. However, when your facilities management systems fail, an incident investigation is the only avenue to facilitate the necessary change to prevent a repeat event.
There are many companies that offer “Root Cause” incident investigation tools once a cause is determined. This course will not promote or recommend any particular “Root Cause” management system, but will teach you the principles and techniques required to successfully investigate any unplanned or undesired event, regardless of the tool utilized to determine “Root Causes.” Further, this course will enhance your skills as an investigator by providing a workflow and direction for all the work that must be completed accurately to complete a thorough investigation. This training course is an enhancement to an existing investigation Management System.
There are ten basic steps, that if performed correctly, will improve your facility's incident investigation program. If you are interested in improving your own skills in this area, then this course will propel you to an expert level, regardless if you have never conducted an incident investigation before. Those who master the basic mechanics and can perform them flawlessly without thought will excel.
Are you ready to learn the ten basic incident investigation steps in detail? This ten-step process applies to any investigations process, regulated by OSHA or not. Whether you conduct simple or complex investigations, under regulatory necessity, or because it improves your company’s competitive advantage, this course is for you.
