Course Overview
Workplace incidents provide valuable learning opportunities when investigated effectively. This mentor-led programme equips professionals with a structured approach to investigating accidents and identifying underlying causes using practical scenarios drawn from real operational environments.
Participants explore the full investigation lifecycle, from initial response and evidence collection through to structured root cause analysis. The course introduces recognised techniques such as the Five Whys and cause-and-effect analysis to help teams move beyond surface-level explanations and identify systemic issues.
Through guided exercises and scenario simulations, learners practise analysing incident data, documenting findings, and developing corrective actions that strengthen safety management systems. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to conduct clear, defensible investigations that support organisational learning and continuous improvement.
