Systems Root Cause Analysis (SRCA) Incident Investigations Training

 Why Incident Investigations Training and Analysis are important.

This course will provide the Learner with necessary knowledge and understanding to identify hazards and risks that may cause incidents/accidents and to develop proactive controls. Although investigations are usually reactive in nature, the information identified can be used in a proactive manner to prevent future potential incidents.

Whilst investigating why a particular incident/accident occurred, it will identify several other potential management system deficiencies, which may potentially materialize in the future. It’s a demonstration that management takes prevention of incidents seriously.

 Systems Root Cause Analysis (SRCA) is an incident investigation methodology, based on the sequence of events that allowed it to occur, which allows investigators to identify the system deficiencies that lead to the occurrence of a loss or a potential loss. It guides the investigators through a step-by-step systematic process of identifying all the contributory factors to the loss or potential loss.

 The Immediate, Root Causes and the Management System deficiencies that contributed to the loss or potential loss, as well as corrective actions will be identified to prevent re-occurrence of the incident. 

Objective
To empower the Learner who has the responsibility to ensure a safe and healthy work environment with the necessary knowledge and skill, to make a positive contribution.

 Purpose of This Training
The purpose of this course is to provide the learner with the necessary knowledge and ability to conduct an incident investigation and further analysis using the System Root Cause Analysis method.
