INCIDENT INVESTIGATION (ICAM)
INCIDENT INVESTIGATION (ICAM)
When a serious incident, accident or near miss occurs, understanding the 'why' is critical to preventing it from happening again. Our ICAM (Incident Cause Analysis Method) investigation service provides a structured and systematic approach to do just that. ICAM goes beyond surface-level analysis to identify the root causes and contributing factors, helping you understand the complex interaction of organisational, human, and environmental factors that led to the event.
Why Choose an Independent Investigation?
In the wake of a serious incident, an independent investigation provides a crucial layer of objectivity and impartiality. Internal investigations can sometimes be influenced by organisational pressures, unconscious bias, or a focus on blame rather than learning. As an independent third party, we are not clouded by company politics or preconceived notions. We provide a fresh perspective, ensuring the investigation is thorough, credible, and focused solely on finding the truth and delivering actionable solutions.
Identify True Root Causes: We use the ICAM methodology to uncover the systemic issues, not just the individual actions, that contributed to the incident.
Objective & Impartial Findings: As an independent investigator, we provide a neutral and credible analysis, which is essential for both internal learning and external regulatory scrutiny.
Actionable Recommendations: Our detailed reports provide clear, evidence based recommendations designed to prevent recurrence and strengthen your management systems.
Enhanced Safety Culture: By focusing on the system rather than individual blame, our investigation process encourages open communication and a culture of continuous improvement.
Demonstrate Due Diligence: A robust and independent investigation shows a proactive commitment to safety, which is vital for legal and regulatory compliance.
