gathering accurate, complete, and objective accident data to identify root
causes and determine corrective actions. The course emphasizes analyzing data
to prevent injuries, property damage, and financial losses.
The
primary goal is to equip participants with a thorough understanding of how to
conduct effective incident investigations. Participants will work in small
investigative teams to analyze real-world incident case studies, applying the
skills and critical thinking learned throughout the course.

true course of events (what, where, when).
- Determining direct, root
causes, and contributing factors (why).
