Safety Management: Root Cause Analysis for Incidents Checklist

Why bother with a Root Cause Analysis? It’s simple – if not to get to the root cause of why it happened in the first place, right? Get to know that, and you stand a chance of ensuring that the same incident doesn’t occur again.

Topics highlighted in our Root Cause Analysis checklist include:

• Assessing the incident
• Identifying the incident
• Logistics for conducting an Incident investigation at your organization
• Logistics and aspects of conducting and implementing a root cause analysis at your organization

The root cause analysis process should significantly enhance the further needed milestones in the overall incident investigation process, including incident costing and incident recall. Prevent incidents from happening in the future by analyzing your previous incident root causes and implementing new methods and actions into place.
