Safety Investigation Training

Course Overview:

Within an organisational safety culture, many incident/occurrence reports are generated.

Operators, Service Providers and Training Organisations are mandated by European Regulations to investigate such reported occurrences. The quality and effective output of these investigations is fully dependant on the competence and training of the safety team/investigators.

This course will give your safety team/investigators an understanding of:

• How investigations are conducted at a state Safety Investigation Authority (SIA) level;
  
• The inter-action between the SIA and the entity that is the subject of an SIA investigation;
  
• The technical and investigative understanding/knowledge about how to conduct investigations in such a way that the organisation will learn from these events and reduce the likelihood of similar events occurring in the future.
  

By means of discussions, case studies, video/practical examples, and group exercises, participants will become familiar with:

 The objectives of a Safety Investigation;

• The Roles and Responsibilities within a Safety Investigation Team
• Human Factors from four different angles;
• The development of dealing with Human Error;
•  The required Terms of Reference for Investigators;
• The value of Safety Investigation Interviews;
• The different approaches to Data Analysis;
• The Collaboration with other Investigating Authorities.
• Dealing with Families/next-of-kin;
•  Dealing with the media.
