INCIDENT INVESTIGATION & REPORTING

ABOUT THE COURSE

In spite of all our best efforts, incidents and accidents often occur with undesired consequences and, in the worst-case, causes loss of life. It is vital that all incidents are correctly investigated considering the critical events of the incident and using the right tools.
