Incident Investigation
Incident Investigation is a organized procedure designed to determine the root causes of workplace accidents, near-misses, and unsafe conditions, in order to uncover why the event occurred and how it can be prevented in the future. This practice plays a crucial role in enhancing workplace safety, improving operational procedures, and ensuring compliance with both Indian legal requirements and international safety standards. Constructive inquiries result in proactive safety culture as it enables organizations to learn from occurrences and adopt effective preventive actions.

Training Objective
This course is intended to provide participants with the knowledge and practical tools required to investigate workplace incidents and accidents methodically, aiming to uncover root causes and enhance organizational safety performance. It begins by highlighting the importance of incident investigation as a means to promote learning, improve systems, and ensure legal compliance rather than assign blame. Participants will learn how to gather and protect various forms of evidence—physical, photographic, documentary, and digital—without compromising the integrity of the scene and chain of custody. The course further develops interviewing witnesses proficiently and taking down their statements correctly. Based on these findings, learners will develop the ability to propose corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) that address systemic issues. The training finishes off by providing advice on preparing compliant investigation reports that promote openness, while driving an active safety culture throughout the organization.
