SUMMARY:Tips for a Better Investigation and Root Cause: Going Deeper Than Human Error
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe process of incident investigations is a common practice that all safety professionals are experienced with\, yet many of our investigations end up with the same root cause\, human error. Most incidents can be tied to human error and although it is an accurate use for root cause\, to make a change towards preventative safety actions you must look at additional layers. \nThe definition of a root cause is best said by the organization TapRoot as “The absence of a best practice or the failure to apply knowledge that would have prevented a problem.” Applying this explanation of a root cause\, human error can be better used as a casual factor in the investigation process. The use of different approaches can help reach a deeper level of investigation that can gravitate a safety program towards prevention versus correction. \nTakeaways: \n\nTop 5 tips for Investigations\nHow to avoid human error as a root cause\nThe benefits of using dashboards\nWays to conduct interviews\n\nRegister \nBy submitting my information\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor Business Media’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor Business Media’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.
