COURSE TITLE:  ACCIDENT-INCIDENT SAFETY INVESTIGATOR TRAINING PROGRAM

This course is offered in-person across 3 full days or in a live-virtual format across 5 half days.  A 2 day condensed and intensive Accident-Incident Safety Investigator Training Program is available for organizations with a current Safety Management System (SMS). Your SMS investigation components can be mapped onto the CIIP.

The next session will be scheduled soon!

INSTRUCTOR:  The course is taught by the recipient of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada's Excellence in Investigations AwardClinton Marquardt, Accident Investigator, Sleep & Fatigue Specialist

Figure out the accident puzzle

This training will help you put the pieces of the puzzle together, to make sense of the accident or incident so that you can develop effective corrective actions.

DESCRIPTION:  The Accident-Incident Safety Investigator Training Program provides participants with a step-wise methodology to investigate accidents and incidents from a Safety Management Systems (SMS) perspective. The method was modelled after internationally recognized investigation processes used by the world's foremost safety boards. The method, now called the Critical Incident Investigation Process (CIIP), has been reviewed, field tested an accepted as the gold standard by senior investigators internationally. The CIIP is a refined and optimized methodology that provides investigators with a comprehensive and practical approach to conducting accident and incident investigations for safety improvement.

During the hands-on course, the instructor leads participants step-by-step through the CIIP that moves the investigation from explaining what happened to why it happened.  The CIIP focusses on understanding the accident or incident from a human factors perspective. It provides both new and experienced investigators with specialized tools to keep the process moving forward even if they encounter roadblocks that make it difficult to explain an accident or incident.

The training program provides participants with the CIIP to follow and a skill-set to facilitate writing reports with strong and accurate conclusions about the risk and causal factors involved in an accident or incident. Participants will learn the material through an engaging use of a case study, safety vignettes and hands-on exercises.

Did you know that most accident investigations do not fix the underlying causes of accidents?

After the training, participants will be able to use the respected Critical Incident Investigation Process  (CIIP) to get to the real reasons the accident happened. You will know “Why” the accident happened and you will know how to fix it!

When you fix the problem, you will be improving safety, reducing human error, controlling risk, getting along better with the regulators and you will be reducing the financial losses of accidents!

One accident can financially cripple a company!

The Accident-Incident Safety Investigator Training Program will help you prevent accidents, and if you only ever prevent one accident, this course will have easily paid for itself! Now is the time to modernize your safety investigation skills with an efficacy-based human factors focus.

TRAINING MODULES and AGENDA OVERVIEW for the 3 DAY IN-PERSON SESSIONS:

For the live-virtual sessions, the same topics are covered across 5 half days.

Day One

  • Safety investigation interviewing, the right way
  • Assessing an incident to determine if an investigation is required
  • Assembling an investigation team
  • Managing and communicating with stakeholders and authorities
  • Finding out what happened, not why it happened, by collecting the facts
  • Photography and video for safety investigations, the right way
  • Building an action sequence

Day Two

  • Collecting additional data
  • Identifying safety significant actions
  • Figuring out why it happened by analyzing the data
  • Why-because analyses and a discussion of some alternatives such as PEMEP, root cause, Ishikawa/fish bone/cause & effect, and substandard acts/conditions analyses
  • Developing and testing preliminary explanations
  • Identifying risk factors

Day Three

  • Identifying causal factors
  • Performing a mitigation assessment
  • Performing a risk assessment
  • Developing a corrective actions plan
  • Documenting the investigation


Participants in the Accident-Incident Safety Investigator Training Program receive distinct benefits that are not provided by other training programs.  These benefits include:

  • Less down time, this program is delivered in as little as 2 days
  • Significant savings, our program is the most affordable
  • Better investigation results in less time, our investigation process is efficacy-based and customizable to meet your needs
  • Easier interactions with government safety boards, our investigation process is based on internationally accepted models
