Qualification in Focus: NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation
NEBOSH jointly developed this one day qualification with Great Britain’s Health and Safety Regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). It aims to help you gain the skills and knowledge you need to investigate non-complex incidents effectively and produce action plans to prevent a recurrence.
The qualification offers a range of key benefits including:
- teaching best practice incident investigation (topics covered include how to gather evidence including conducting witness interviews)
- helping to improve safety culture through the adoption of a more proactive and positive approach
- driving down repeat incidents by identifying where lessons can be learnt and the actions that should be taken
It is suitable for anyone who wants to carry out incident investigations effectively.
