Investigation Basics

Web Based Training

Incident Investigation Basics training is now available to organizations via the internet in a two hour session. Train up to six people from your investigation team, work group or safety committee in this introductory session on incident investigation. Your group can be in multiple locations.

This training is based on our classroom session by the same name that has been delivered to thousands in Canada and the USA over the past ten years. Sessions are delivered live to your meeting room via an interactive web hookup at a time convenient to you. Participants are encouraged to ask questions via email or telephone of the presenter during the program and after the session as well.

Training Certificate

A Certificate of Completion is available to those attending the training session and completing the case study. The case study is a one page scenario describing a routine workplace accident. Participants will review the case study and answer a series of questions about accident scene evidence, witnesses, causal factors and corrective actions. Case studies are returned to participants with feedback.

Cost

$695.00 per session. Copies of our 70 page investigation guide for each participant will be mailed to you after the session.
