This foundational course equips participants with the essential knowledge and practical tools required to conduct internal accident and incident investigations in an aviation environment.
In organizations that foster a just culture, incident reporting is a key mechanism for continuous improvement. However, the effectiveness of learning from these reports depends on the quality of investigations—this, in turn, depends on the training and competence of the investigators.
Through a combination of theoretical instruction, real-world case studies, group exercises, and video analysis, participants will learn how to plan and carry out safety investigations that drive learning and safety improvement. The course focuses on the technical skills needed to collect and analyze data, understand contributing factors—especially human factors—and produce actionable recommendations that lead to organizational learning.
Participants will leave with the ability to contribute meaningfully to small-scale safety investigations within a team.
