A 3-day training course providing both a theoretical and practical overview of the Tripod Beta methodology, enabling Participants to support and conduct incident investigations and analyses.

Tripod is a theory for understanding incidents and accidents, based on the Swiss Cheese model. It was developed to explain how and why incidents happen, and allow the root organisational causes and deficiencies to be uncovered and addressed. This 3-day training course will provide a theoretical overview of the Tripod Beta methodology and teach Participants how to apply this in practice, helping Participants uncover not just how an incident happened but also why it happened: the management controls that should have prevented it and the systemic organisational issues that can lead to future incidents.
