Course Overview
A procedure for root cause analysis of major incidents that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Regulators judge major incidents on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. The difficulty is not agreeing that the occupational health and safety discipline matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in root cause analysis of major incidents that were visible long before the incident. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of occupational health and safety and supervised application. The level assumes working familiarity with the work site but no prior formal training in major incidents. They acquire practical criteria for judging when root cause analysis of major incidents is working and when it is only appearing to. It concentrates on the parts of major incidents that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within occupational health and safety will be evidenced six months later.
