ICAM investigations are powerful tools for identifying the factors contributing to workplace incidents.
By examining both immediate causes and underlying factors, ICAM assists organisations in implementing effective risk reduction strategies, improving workplace health and safety, and building stronger, more resilient safety systems.
However, many organisations need to correct common mistakes when using ICAM that can undermine its effectiveness.
At ICAM Australia, we want to share our insights and expertise to help you avoid these pitfalls.
Human factors are essential in incident investigations, yet people often hastily label incidents 'human error' without further examination.
Our ICAM training in human factors analysis delves deeper, looking beyond surface-level assumptions. We assess how organisational structures, environments, and processes influence human performance.
Ignoring these elements prevents a complete understanding of an incident’s true causes. A comprehensive ICAM investigation requires a nuanced view of human factors, which is a core focus in our training programs.
ICAM training is dedicated to equipping your team for practical investigations, yet some organisations overlook the importance of thorough training.
At ICAM Australia, we’ve witnessed firsthand how our training strengthens safety and risk mitigation skills.
It’s more than simply following steps; it’s about deeply understanding and applying the methodology to real-world situations—a benefit only comprehensive training provides.
A frequent mistake in investigations is focusing solely on immediate causes while ignoring broader contributing factors. While identifying the direct trigger of an incident is essential, it’s just as crucial to examine the systems and processes that enabled it.
Our ICAM investigation services are built to uncover these larger frameworks, helping to reduce workplace risks and improve overall safety.
Generic solutions are ineffective, especially in the nuanced workplace health and safety field.
At ICAM Australia, we are committed to providing customised solutions that meet the distinct needs of each organisation. Whether through individualised training programs or targeted incident investigations, we collaborate closely with clients to address their specific risks and challenges.
Our experience shows that personalised strategies lead to more significant and lasting improvements in safety outcomes.
Completing an ICAM investigation is only one part of the process. Without proper follow-up, recommendations derived from investigations may not be fully realised. Implementation of findings requires commitment and persistent effort. At ICAM Australia, we help clients translate insights into action.
We offer ongoing support and consultancy to help embed learned lessons into operational practices and minimise future risks.
Engaging with specialists can significantly enhance the quality of your incident investigations. Jo De Landre's three-decade expertise in ICAM training and investigations is unmatched.
