This workshop is aimed at Business Owners/Operators, Business Managers and Team Managers providing a practical and structured introduction to human centered accident investigations.

Unravelling the mysteries behind accidents is not just about finding fault

it's about understanding the human element and supporting your team to learn and move forward. 'Keeping it Human: An Introduction to Accident Investigation' goes beyond traditional methods to explore the intricate interplay of human factors in accidents.

Participants will learn how to avoid the ‘name, blame, shame, and retrain’ and how to peel back the layers of causation and look into everything from organisational culture to the systems for controlling risks. Gaining insights that can then help reshape safety protocols and prevent future incidents.
