Incidents - that may or may not lead to actual loss - are occurring every day. Many of these could have been prevented if only previous incidents would have been reported, properly investigated and analyzed. The objective of investigations is evaluation of existing physical and organizational safeguards and improvement of the effectiveness of the safety management system.

The vast majority of incidents are a direct result of human error. Understanding the basic factors leading to human error is the first step towards a better control of such factors. In this practical course, delegates will become familiar with the techniques to combine investigation and analysis and be able to apply this in daily practice. This course is an element of the triangle: Incident Analysis, Risk Assessment and Behavior Management.
