Incident
Investigation -- Tips, Techniques & Trivia
I'm in Banff today (May 4th) at the Petroleum
Safety Conference co-presenting with Wally Cook from Kestrel Resources
on Effective Investigations. Last month I was able to pilot my
web based Incident Investigation Basics training with two groups
of safety professionals and clients. Thanks to those who attended
the sessions and more importantly provided the feedback.

Incident Investigation Basics
(Web Based Training)
The technology (GoToTraining.com)
used in this training is sound and easy for clients to utilize;
from my end it's somewhat like piloting a small aircraft. Sessions
can be accessed by individuals at their computer or using web
based conferencing it can be delivered in house to groups or teams.
The first session is scheduled for mid June with two additional
sessions to follow in each of July and August.
Now from my perspective it's a case of "build
it and they will come (or not)".

Interviewing Using The
PEACE Method
A number of police forces through the world
are using a model of interviewing that is more information gathering
as compared to obtaining a confession from a suspect. As we in
the safety world are concerned with gathering information following
an accident I thought the technique might be of interest to readers.
The method incorporated is what I've been teaching for years,
but the use of the mnemonic PEACE brings all the ideas together
nicely.
P - Preparation and planning
E - Engage and explain
A - Account
C - Closure
E - Evaluate
I've deleted some police/legal concepts from the
web based material and added a few comments of my own.
