22 Investigation courses in Manchester

OVERVIEW This one day Accident Investigation course will give participants the necessary information and skills to enable them to carry out a thorough and effective accident investigation. DESCRIPTION This course will provide attendees with the necessary information and skills, to reach the right conclusions, make effective, practical recommendations and thereby make a significant contribution to improving workplace health and safety. Topics covered: * Accidents & Accident Causation – If an organisation does not properly control risks, the outcome of an accident often depends on chance. Because the outcome of an accident cannot be accurately predicted, the only way to effectively reduce accidents is by controlling the underlying causes of all the different accident types. * Accident Reporting Process – Reporting of Injuries, Diseases & Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR) * The Process – You have 2 top priorities when you are first notified of an accident. The first is to the injured person to ensure that appropriate medical attention is available. The second priority is then to ensure that the area is made safe to ensure no other persons are injured * Accident Investigation – Every employer has a Moral, Legal & Economic obligation to protect the health and safety of employees while at work * The Cause of Accidents – During an accident investigation you will be looking for the unsafe acts and the unsafe conditions which contributed to the accident. If you carry out the investigation effectively, then you will find the root cause or causes of the accident * Facts to be Collated – When you conduct an accident investigation you should be seeking to obtain information on unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, immediate failures and latent failures. To find out these various elements of the accident you need to ask the questions who, where, when, and what, which will give you details of the event * Reaching Conclusion – Identifying all the failure modes, satisfy all the answers to what, where, why, who etc., and thus identify all the causes of the accident * Review of Session – Creating an action plan to embed learning. WHO SHOULD ATTEND Managers, leaders, trainers, health and safety officers and anyone involved in health and safety training and/or procedures. REQUIREMENTS FOR ATTENDEES None.

ABOUT THIS VILT Tripod can be used in any area of business where the organisation has a management system in place to prevent unwanted events e.g., health, safety, environment, quality, security, productivity, project management, and many more Tripod Beta is one of several tools based on Tripod's fundamental principles. Tripod Beta is based on proven theories, man years of academic research, and testing in the workplace. The Swiss Cheese Model originated from this work. Features of the methodology are: 1) the Tripod Beta diagram; it provides an easy-to-read summary of the entire investigation on a single page, 2) it accommodates deficiencies in leadership and worker participation, 3) it accommodates deficiencies in human behaviour, and 4) it highlights missing controls (not just controls that failed). Quality throughout all aspects of Tripod is assured by the Stichting Tripod Foundation (STF) and the Energy Institute. The participants will gain a theoretical understanding of the Tripod Beta methodology and terminology. They will be able to read Tripod diagrams and reports, and be able to assist incident investigation/analysis as a team member.  This is the first step to becoming an accredited silver or gold practitioner. Tripod Beta Practitioner Accreditation is meant to build these skills, through a blend of support, coaching and assessments. Feedback is provided on Tripod incident investigation reports, giving the Practitioner the opportunity to hone their skills and become confident in their ability to use Tripod effectively. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: * Pass the Tripod Beta Practitioner (Bronze Level) exam * Act as a team member or Tripod facilitator on an incident investigation * Plan and schedule activities for an incident investigation * Focus line of enquiry during an investigation * Engage with the most relevant people at each stage of the investigation * Describe the incident causation paths in terms that align with their management system * Consider issues relating to leadership, worker participation and human behaviour * Assess the quality of an incident report * Apply the process to any type of unwanted event that should have been prevented by a management system e.g., health, safety, environment, financial, security, productivity, quality, project management etc. * Combine the findings from many incidents with data from other initiatives e.g., audits and inspections, to spot trends to prioritise actions and product a single improvement plan Target Audience The course is recommended for anyone who is expected to play a role in designing, reviewing, auditing, and following your organizations OH&S management system. Successful participants will be awarded the Stitching Tripod Foundation Tripod Beta Bronze certificate. The following oil & gas company personnel will benefit from the knowledge shared in this course: * CEO * Team Leaders * Legal, insurance and finance departments * Managers (Line and Function) * Maintenance Engineers * Quality Assurance Engineers * Process Engineers * Incident Investigators (Team member & Tripod facilitator) * Project Managers * System Custodians * Technical Authorities * Key Contractor's Management * Contract Managers/Holders * Safety Representatives * Risk Management Engineers * HSE Advisors * Supervisors * Auditors * Regulators Course Level * Basic or Foundation Trainer Your expert course leader has over 30 years of experience in construction, operations and maintenance with the upstream exploration and production sector. He joined Shell International E&P in 1971 and for 28 years worked in several locations around the world. Following the Piper Alpha incident he led Shell's two year, £10M major overhaul of their permit to work system. He first made use of the Tripod Beta principles during this period and since then he has delivered over 100 Tripod Beta courses in more than 25 locations around the world. He is a Chartered Engineer, a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology and holds a postgraduate diploma from the University of Birmingham (UK).

OVERVIEW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate frauds have the inherent power to bring large organizations to their knees, cause huge monetary loss, prompt lawsuits followed by significant legal expenses, lead to the imprisonment of employees and deteriorate confidence in the market, governments, and institutions. In response, corporations and governments across the globe have stepped up their effort to inspect, prevent and penalize fraudulent practices; resulting in a greater emphasis on the domains of forensic auditing and accounting in the current economy. This training course will empower you to recognize the root causes of fraud and white-collar crime in the current economy, understand the categories of fraud, equip you with methodologies of fraud detection and prevention, and heighten your ability to detect potential fraudulent situations.
