Workplace accidents, incidents and near misses rarely have one simple cause. Effective investigation requires more than identifying what happened, it must establish why it happened, what organisational weaknesses allowed it to happen and what action is required to prevent recurrence. This practical one-day course gives delegates a structured approach to investigating workplace incidents, gathering reliable evidence, interviewing witnesses and identifying immediate, underlying and root causes.
Using construction-based case studies, delegates will apply recognised techniques including the Five Whys, cause-and-effect analysis, barrier analysis and incident timelines.
The course follows the principles contained in the HSE’s guidance, Investigating Accidents and Incidents (HSG245), which emphasises investigating immediate, underlying and root causes rather than simply attributing blame.
