- Root cause analysis techniques
- Identifying contributing factors and system failures

Overview of the webinar
Accident investigations are a critical component of an effective safety management system. However, many investigations stop at identifying immediate causes rather than uncovering the underlying organizational issues that contributed to the incident.
This program introduces a structured and practical approach to incident investigation designed to uncover root causes and prevent recurrence. Participants will learn how to gather accurate information, conduct effective interviews, analyze contributing factors, and document findings clearly. The session also introduces root cause analysis methods that help identify systemic weaknesses in procedures, training, supervision, equipment, or safety culture.
The program emphasizes corrective actions that strengthen safety systems and prevent future incidents rather than simply assigning blame.
Who should attend?

Why should you attend?
Many organizations conduct accident investigations that focus only on immediate causes or employee behavior. While these investigations may document what happened, they often fail to identify the underlying system failures that allowed the incident to occur.
This session provides a structured approach to conducting thorough incident investigations that identify true root causes and drive meaningful corrective actions. Participants will learn practical methods for collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, analyzing contributing factors, and applying root cause analysis tools to identify system failures.
