TRAINING FOR KEY PERSONNEL
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Why this course?
An effective root cause analysis should not primarily focus on who or what caused the non-compliance, but on why it occurred.
Establishing the root cause(s) of a non-compliance often requires an overarching view of the events and circumstances that led to it. This makes it possible to identify systemic and contributing factors, including regulatory, human, organisational and technical factors, in addition to any direct factors.
A narrow focus on single events or failures may not properly reflect the complexity of the issue.
An effective process for identifying and addressing the proper root cause helps prevent recurring problems and can save both time and money in the long run.
What you will learn
- Enhance your understanding of effective root cause analysis.
- Learn different methods for analysing events.
- Explore a range of tools used to perform root cause analyses.

All regulations for safety and compliance call for root cause investigations to be performed following accidents, incidents, findings or in response to reported problems.
Training in performing effective root cause analyses is relevant for safety managers, compliance monitoring managers, supervisors, auditors and other staff involved in answering or evaluating audit findings and safety reports.
