Accident Investigation

As former HSE Specialist Inspectors, trainers Julie Bell and Pippa Brockington have extensive experience of accident investigation from initial enquiries to preparing for trial. They have designed this course to help you understand how to find the root cause of an accident and why that is important for making effective safety improvements. You will learn about human error and how performance influencing factors (PIFs) result in performance variability.

Learn in a fun and supportive way, with training built around an accident case study with opportunity to practise interviewing skills, explore the tools available for evidence management, and understand how bias can impact your investigation and decision making.

The training will enable you to

• Identify Human Failure Types and Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs)
• Develop your witness interviewing skills (including awareness of bias)
• Practise evidence management
• Use Events and Causal Factors Analysis Plus (ECFA+) to understand the accident and identify causal factors
• Understand why human failures occur and how to identify preventative measures

This two-day course contributes to Topic 1.1 Managing Human Performance: Human Factors in MAH Risk Assessment and Accident Investigation of the HSE’s Human Factors Operational Delivery Guide.
