NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation

What is the NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation course?

NEBOSH and Great Britain’s Health and Safety Regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), have jointly developed a new one day qualification that shows how non-complex incidents can be investigated effectively.

By learning lessons and making improvements, organisations can avoid similar incidents occurring in the future.

Training course programme & duration

The one day NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation covers the following topics:

• Moral, legal and financial arguments for investigations
• Human and organisational factors that can contribute to an incident
• The process for investigating incidents
• Positive interview strategies and the barriers to successful interviews

Attending the course will enable you to:

• Independently investigate simple incidents
• Gather evidence including conducting witness interviews
• Produce an action plan to prevent a recurrence of an incident
• Contribute to team investigations for large scale incidents
• Positively impact the safety culture in your organisation

Course assessments and examination

A practical assessment is completed at the end of the course. You will be provided with a pack of evidence and shown a video of three witness interviews. You will be asked to review the evidence, evaluate each interview and produce an action plan that will help prevent a recurrence of an incident.

Learners must be registered before they can take an assessment. All assessment registrations must be completed by an accredited learning partner.

All assessments are held on a date chosen by your learning partner.

You will receive your results within 24 working days of sitting the assessments. Once you have achieved a pass a qualification parchment will be issued. This is normally within 40 working days of the confirmation of the successful unit.
