Test the organisation's response to multi-disciplinary investigation teams under conditions that are less than ideal.
Building Multi-Disciplinary Investigation Teams for Major Incidents
A senior-level treatment of multi-disciplinary investigation teams, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
A procedure for multi-disciplinary investigation teams that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Almost every serious incident involving the wider occupational health and safety agenda was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Where the occupational health and safety discipline is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme is built to be used, and every section of multi-disciplinary investigation teams it covers ends in something applicable. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this aspect of occupational health and safety are used deliberately. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider occupational health and safety agenda. Moving multi-disciplinary investigation teams from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants test their assumptions about this aspect of occupational health and safety against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this part of occupational health and safety that would make a visible difference.
