Failure & Incident Investigation Essentials

OBJECTIVE OF THIS SEMINAR

The probability is high that individuals working in roles relating to integrity, maintenance, or operations will be involved in several failure or incident investigations during their careers. However, not all organizations have experienced teams dedicated to these types of investigations. As a result, other roles are often required to support or even lead investigations. In those situations, prior training and awareness will reduce the associated stress and increase the overall effectiveness of the process.

TOPICS

This one-day seminar will use case studies and interactive discussions to increase the audience’s confidence and awareness of key concepts and tools associated with failure and incident investigations including:

• Language of investigations
• Anatomy of an incident
• Stakeholders and investigation teams
• Investigation techniques
• Causal factors
• Evidence collection and preservation
• Role of lab work (e.g., material testing, metallography, fractography)
• Safety and site controls
• Report writing
• Regulatory requirements
• Corrective Actions
• Witness statements

Attendees will leave the seminar with an increased level of confidence in their ability to support or lead investigations at their work site.
