Benefits of Using Safety Barrier Models in Incident Investigations
Safety barrier models are an excellent tool for communicating the management of complex risks to all levels of an organization and stakeholders. If used correctly, this powerful attribute can also be a valuable tool for incident investigations to identify causal factors.
This webinar goes through the key rules for producing a suitable barrier model for an incident, and how to then use it to identify causal factors. We will also briefly discuss how the method can complement the ABS Group SOURCE™ methodology for Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
What We Cover
- Following a subsequent RCA, how barrier models can be used to summarize potentially complex findings
- We will highlight the multi-causal nature of incidents and how to use barrier models to deliver lessons learned
