Root Cause Analysis for Incident Investigation - Basic
October 26, 2026 8:30am-4:00pm Pacific Time
Welcome to the Root Cause Analysis for Incident Investigation Course Series. This is a 1-day course providing a basic introduction to the root cause analysis system for incident investigation followed by a 2-day advanced course.
Incidents rarely result from a single mistake or unsafe act. Effective root cause analysis helps organizations understand contributing factors, identify system weaknesses, and develop meaningful corrective actions. This interactive one-day course introduces participants to the foundational principles of root cause analysis and incident investigation. Leave with a basic understanding of the procedure for incident investigation using root cause analysis and an introductory understanding of appropriate preventive measures and corrective actions.
Build foundational investigation skills in the one-day course, then deepen your capability through practical experience in interviewing, analysis, corrective action development and reporting in the two-day program.
Audience: All health and safety professionals and workers with an interest in safety and accident investigation. All are welcome to register for either the Basic or Advanced courses. There are no prerequisites for either course.
