Course Introduction
Offshore and marine operations are exposed to higher risks and hazards, which have led to major disasters in the Oil and Gas industry. These disasters are products of recurring minor incidents un-prevented due to poor investigation practices, which have not been able to address the root causes of such incidents.
This program aims to provide the attendees the key skills in conducting effective incident Investigation at the same time identify the underlying root cause to prevent unsafe accidents to recur. The first part of the program covers the investigation principles, workflow, key techniques, and data processing. While commercial investigation systems are discussed, the program will prompt and lead users to an investigation thought process.
This will enable attendees to further improve the data input and the utilization of any existing commercial programs used. The program also examines root cause analysis across a multitude of situational incidents and case study discussions. After attending this program, attendees will be confident to conduct and lead investigations. It shall also link the Incident Investigation process to a step further of Root-Cause Analysis, to provide insights on safety system gaps. Comprehensive investigation techniques shall be provided alongside a variety of offshore and marine case studies and simulated group exercises throughout all sessions. Attendees are encouraged to bring along their Incident Reports for discussion by the course and evaluation as to be the correct Causes and Action Plan identified.
