Root cause analysis
Examine immediate causes, contributing factors and underlying failures in work planning, procedures, supervision, training and risk controls. Identify why the incident occurred rather than stopping at the visible outcome.
Corrective and preventive actions
Recommend practical actions that address the findings, with responsibilities, priorities and a basis for checking whether the actions are effective.

Frequently asked questions
Do you investigate near misses as well as injuries?
Yes. A near miss can reveal weaknesses before someone is injured. We examine the event and recommend improvements based on the agreed scope.
What is root cause analysis?
Root cause analysis examines the underlying reasons an incident occurred, including failures in systems and controls. This helps organisations select actions that address the causes and reduce the chance of a similar incident.
Does an investigation replace statutory reporting?
No. Employers must still meet applicable incident reporting and record-keeping duties. Our investigation supports those processes and does not replace an inspector’s investigation or directions.
