When you need workplace accident investigation

  • A serious workplace accident or injury has occurred
  • A near-miss reveals a systemic risk you need to understand
  • Repeat incidents suggest deeper organisational factors
  • You want to learn from an event — not just document it
  • Authorities are involved and you need clarity on what happened

Our investigation approach

We combine document review, structured interviews, and field understanding to build a clear picture of what happened and why. Our method focuses on systemic contributing factors — not individual blame.

  1. Scope and learning goals — we agree on what the investigation should achieve
  2. Evidence collection — documents, site conditions, timelines, and context
  3. Interviews — structured, blame-free conversations with people involved
  4. Analysis — identifying contributing factors, decision points, and root causes
  5. Recommendations — practical, prioritised actions with owners and deadlines
  6. Leadership briefing — presenting findings and supporting implementation (optional)

What you receive

  • Investigation report with timeline and contributing factors
  • Root cause analysis (systemic, not person-blame)
  • Prioritised recommendations (quick wins + structural improvements)
  • Optional: leadership briefing and implementation sparring
  • Optional: authority communication support
