New Course: Lead Accident Investigator Training

We’re pleased to announce the launch of Lead Accident Investigator Training.

This new, IIRSM-approved course explains how to structure and lead accident investigations that produce meaningful safety improvements. It provides a complete framework that investigators should follow when analysing accidents to make workplaces safer.

Across eight modules, trainees will learn how to manage each stage of an investigation, from initial responses and interviewing witnesses through to interpreting evidence and making final recommendations. This approach helps investigators move beyond quick conclusions and reveal the underlying conditions that allowed the accident to happen. Addressing these root causes is the only way to prevent repeat incidents and make lasting improvements to safety performance.

Why Is Lead Accident Investigator Training Important?

In many organisations, accident investigations focus on immediate causes while overlooking the deeper systemic issues that allowed it to happen. Without a structured process, investigations are often inconsistent, superficial and ineffective.

This course is for those responsible for leading workplace investigations. It reveals the structure and techniques needed to gather reliable evidence, analyse contributing factors and develop proportionate actions that prevent recurrence.

By applying this knowledge, organisations can strengthen compliance, reduce risk and turn accidents into opportunities for measurable improvement across operations.

Who Should Take This Course?

This training is ideal for:

  • Health and Safety Officers
  • Line Managers and Supervisors
  • Facilities and Operations Managers
  • Lead Investigators and Internal Auditors
  • Contractor Safety Coordinators
  • Risk and Compliance Specialists
