Webinar: Incident Investigation – Key Insights for High Hazard Industries
In the aftermath of an incident leading to a loss (injury, fatality and/or physical damage), focus turns to understanding what happened and getting to the causal factors and root causes . Many parties have interest in this activity, often with different agendas, ranging from the Operator’s desire to learn and take actions to ensure the event or similar events are not repeated within the company; the regulators’/standards providers’ need to ensure that learning is made available to a wider audience and, as necessary, change regulation or practice; the insurers’ need to establish if the loss is covered and the associated costs; and the lawyers’ need to gather evidence to support criminal or civil actions arising from such a loss. Those involved in assessing the safety and reliability of significant hazards at any stage of a facility’s life cycle should have an interest in incident investigation. Some of the key changes in high hazard industry safety have resulted directly from the detailed and painstaking investigation undertaken following significant events. This webinar will consider how incident investigation can be undertaken using examples from the chemical and process sectors, whilst the techniques described are applicable to a wide range of sectors.
The webinar will be presented by Roger Stokes and Robert Magraw of BakerRisk Europe Ltd:
