BSBWHS515 Lead Initial Response to and Investigate WHS Incidents
RIIWHS301E Conduct Safety and Health Investigations

The ICAM Incident Investigation method is quickly becoming the preferred method for investigating incidents on many major projects and is being identified as a required skill for WHS personnel.

This online training course has been developed due to the current COVID19 pandemic. Once your booking has been made, you will be sent your login details to start the course.

The OHSA ICAM Incident Investigation Lead Investigator Course has been developed based on the Incident Cause Analysis Method developed by Professor James T Reason in his research on Human Error and its contribution to incidents.

 

It is now globally recognised as a peak incident investigation methodology and is widely used in industry for safety-related incidents. Many concepts such as the Swiss Cheese Model, Active and Latent Failures etc have now become part of the safety vocabulary of incident investigation. Numerous industries and many major construction and resources clients require their supervisors, managers and safety officers to be competent in using this methodology for incident investigations.

OHSA has been teaching industry this methodology for over 20 years. Our facilitators of this course have conducted 100’s of incident investigations for aviation, energy, rail, road, mining, construction and emergency services. We have been commissioned by industry, government, transport regulators, coroners and courts to either lead or contribute to these incident investigations. OHSA has developed this course so that you can easily understand the concepts such as the 5 Whys, Timeline, the PEMMEP Data Collection Matrix (People, Equipment, Management, Materials, Environment and Process) and the four occurrence causal factor elements including Absent / Failed Defences, Individual / Team Actions, Task / Environment Factors and Organisational Factors and thereby practically apply them to your workplace incident investigation.

 

 

Our course facilitator has investigated fatalities, mine explosions, near-miss rail disasters, serious transport incidents and hundreds of common law personal injury cases. He holds a Masters Degree, has developed curriculum for University, lectured at University, advised Ministers and Commissioners, consulted around the globe and has been invited to many conferences over the past 20 years and was recently requested to convene a safety conference for serious plant incidents for the forestry industry (as recently as 24&25th July 2017 at Marysville Victoria)!

This course is designed for anyone who might be involved in an incident investigation team including supervisors, safety representatives, managers, safety officers, union officials and inspectors etc.
