Accident Root Cause Analysis
We design training programs that help businesses analyze incidents and accidents, identify root causes, and define the actions necessary to prevent recurrence. Our focus is on equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to conduct thorough and effective investigations.
We approach accident investigation and prevention as a management tool, ensuring that the process is structured for continuous improvement. We use a skills-based case analysis approach to train investigation teams, making them adept at identifying not just the surface issues but also the underlying causes of incidents.
It’s not just a legal requirement—it’s essential for preventing similar accidents in the future. Effective, timely, and in-depth investigations are key to uncovering the root causes. Organizations that conduct systematic accident investigations have the opportunity to learn from each incident and continuously enhance their occupational health and safety strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is accident root cause analysis and why is it necessary?
Accident root cause analysis is a process aimed at identifying the fundamental causes of an accident and eliminating these causes to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. This analysis helps uncover not only immediate errors but also deeper systemic or structural issues. Through this process, businesses can improve workplace safety and prevent recurring accidents.
What steps are involved in accident root cause analysis?
The process starts with a detailed investigation of the accident, followed by collecting all relevant information. Human errors and systemic deficiencies are examined to identify the fundamental reasons—also known as root causes. In the final stage, corrective and preventive measures are implemented to eliminate these root causes and prevent similar accidents from reoccurring.
How are the results of root cause analysis applied?
The results of a root cause analysis should be used to enhance a company’s safety culture and address system weaknesses. During the implementation phase, all reported causes are taken into account, safety measures are updated, training programs are restructured, and workplace processes are improved. This not only prevents repeated accidents but also raises occupational health and safety standards.
What tools and techniques are used in root cause analysis?
Common methods used in root cause analysis include the "5 Whys" method, the Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram, and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). These tools provide a systematic approach to examining and thoroughly understanding the causes of an accident.
