Course Overview
A procedure for incident investigation and root cause analysis that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Regulators judge cause analysis on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the occupational health and safety discipline rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The programme works equally well for those formalising incident investigation and root cause analysis for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of occupational health and safety and revise it on evidence. Applied research in occupational health and safety consistently shows that early structure around cause analysis reduces downstream rework. A common pattern is strong design of incident investigation and root cause analysis paired with weak follow-through. The programme converts cause analysis from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the occupational health and safety capability that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Translate policy on cause analysis into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.
Adapt recognised practice on incident investigation and root cause analysis to local constraints without hollowing it out.
Design the permit and control regime appropriate to the hazards in cause analysis.
Plan the training and refresher cycle sustaining competence in incident investigation and root cause analysis.
Establish reporting routes for hazards and near misses involving cause analysis that people will actually use.
Identify the failure points in incident investigation and root cause analysis most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

Risk and insurance staff assessing exposure from cause analysis.
Operations staff who encounter the consequences of incident investigation and root cause analysis directly.

Course Modules
Incident investigation and root cause analysis: protective equipment and its verification
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Checking that protective equipment for incident investigation and root cause analysis actually protects
- Rehearse the briefing on incident investigation and root cause analysis that would follow an incident.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of cause analysis before proposing changes.
- Check the procedure for incident investigation and root cause analysis against how the work is actually done.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when cause analysis underperforms.
Session 2Who answers for cause analysis, and to whom
- Establish the boundary of incident investigation and root cause analysis and record what sits outside it.
- Test that protective equipment specified for cause analysis fits and is maintained.
- Benchmark the organisation's incident investigation and root cause analysis against comparable operations.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting cause analysis.
Cause analysis: occupational health and long-term exposure
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Making near-miss reporting on cause analysis safe to do
- Estimate the resource incident investigation and root cause analysis requires to run as designed.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on cause analysis.
- Verify permits covering incident investigation and root cause analysis are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Identify single points of dependency in cause analysis and reduce them.
Session 2Reading the current state of cause analysis honestly
- Make the reporting route for hazards in incident investigation and root cause analysis short and non-punitive.
- Map the handovers in cause analysis between functions and secure them.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for incident investigation and root cause analysis are proven before work starts.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by cause analysis and arrange surveillance.
Cause analysis: contractors and shared workplaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Assessing the hazards in cause analysis without turning it into paperwork
- Remove steps in incident investigation and root cause analysis that add effort without adding assurance.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around cause analysis are understood.
- Set leading indicators for incident investigation and root cause analysis that predict rather than count.
- Confirm that controls on cause analysis sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
Session 2Auditing incident investigation and root cause analysis in the field rather than in the file
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for incident investigation and root cause analysis.
- Identify the hazards in cause analysis and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
- Ask the people doing incident investigation and root cause analysis what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Arrange the handover of cause analysis so capability survives staff changes.
Cause analysis: procedures, permits and practical controls
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The exposure from cause analysis that shows up years later
- Check that records of incident investigation and root cause analysis answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in cause analysis is current.
- Set escalation thresholds for incident investigation and root cause analysis that work out of hours.
- Investigate the last incident involving cause analysis to root cause, not to immediate cause.
Session 2Reviewing cause analysis when nothing has gone wrong
- Draft the minimum viable safety procedure for incident investigation and root cause analysis.
- Agree what will be standardised in cause analysis and what will not.
- Close out corrective actions on incident investigation and root cause analysis with a named owner and date.
- Audit application of cause analysis controls at the workface.
