Course Overview

Most organisations effectively respond to unplanned events. It is when the focus changes from response to investigation that companies need support. Competing demands often challenge their ability to perform a thorough investigation, establish root causes and identify improvements that prevent repeated failures.

This course has been designed by professional investigators, with extensive law enforcement backgrounds and experience in leading major investigations. It is designed to provide nominated investigators with the tools and confidence to perform a thorough and robust investigation to identify ‘what happened’, to understand why, in addition to the ability to create recommendations that address systemic failures.

This course is the ideal ‘one stop shop’ for incident investigation and root cause analysis in the arena of Safety, Equipment Failure, Environmental and Quality issues.
