Incident Investigation (Root Cause Analysis, Why-Tree Method)
Investigating workplace incidents to identify root causes and implement corrective actions that prevent recurrence.
Understanding and Preventing Workplace Incidents
Incident Investigation helps organisations understand why workplace incidents occur by analysing the sequence of events, underlying causes and contributing factors. A structured investigation enables organisations to move beyond surface-level explanations and address the true root causes of incidents.
CIH Consult supports organisations in conducting systematic incident investigations using recognised methodologies such as Root Cause Analysis and Why-Tree Analysis. Our consultants help organisations identify failures in systems, procedures or behaviours and recommend corrective measures to strengthen workplace safety.
Why Incident Investigation Matters
Effective incident investigations provide valuable insights that help organisations improve safety systems, strengthen procedures and prevent future incidents.
Root Cause Identification
Analyse incidents systematically to determine underlying causes rather than only immediate factors.
Organisational Learning
Use incident findings to improve procedures, training and operational safety systems.
Preventive Action
