LEAD INCIDENT INVESTIGATOR - 2 DAY COURSE

ICAM is an industrial HSE initiative that draws on the work of the eminent organisational psychologist and human error expert Professor James Reason. ICAM provides a highly practical and structured method in which to conduct systemic HSE investigations.

Course covers:

• An introduction to systemic investigations

• An introduction to understanding human error in the context of organisational systems.

• Data gathering methods including witness interviewing

• Data organisation methodologies (timeline and fault tree processes)

• Data analysis using the ICAM model

• Development of corrective and preventative measures

• Practical application of incident investigation tools in case studies

To date, ICAM has been used in the investigation of incidents in the transport, resource, manufacturing, retail, construction, energy and medical sectors. Its successful use in a number of different countries (including Australia, Canada, USA, Chile, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Papua New Guinea, Peru, South Africa, Mongolia, China, Armenia, etc), work domains and cultural settings, indicates that it migrates readily as an investigation tool to a range of national and industrial contexts.

IN HOUSE TRAINING

The EEA is able to make available in-house ICAM training to supplement the industry courses hosted by the EEA at larger city venues. In-house ICAM training may be more suited for regional venues hosted by participating companies, and does offer possibilities for companies to combine regionally for the training benefits. Potential benefits may include: reduced course overheads for in-house training; less travel and accommodation; reduced delegate training fees particularly for larger class sizes.

Courses available are:

• Basic Course: 1-day training for leading hand and supervisor level staff: - enables understanding and use of ICAM techniques with ICAM guidance manual provided for 15 attendees
  

• Lead Course: 2-day for persons advancing to lead investigator status for 14 to 20 attendees
  

• Champion Workshop: 1-day for persons who have completed the Lead Investigator Course and who have been involved in a number of investigations.
