Competency Management Systems to Support Accident and Incident Investigators

نویسنده

چکیده

Accident and incident investigators play a central role within safety management systems. Their recommendations help to ensure that hazards do not recur. Their reports describe previous hazards that help to inform subsequent risk assessments. Their findings can act as a catalyst for change not only within individual organisations but across entire industries. There is little agreement about the skills and expertise necessary to meet these requirements. The following paper, therefore, identifies generic competency requirements for accident investigators. We recognise that there will be considerable disagreement over relevant expertise in particular countries and for particular industries. However, we must start a debate in this area if we are to encourage leading practice in the exchange of safety lessons around the globe.
