- Set up a structured approach of working with BFA/BSCAT
- Analyze (unwanted) outcomes as Near-misses, Accidents, and Incidents
- Create a valid BFA incident analysis diagram

- Relate to risk and management systems
- Facilitate learning from incidents
Training goals

Description
During this course, participants will learn how to analyse incidents using the BFA (Barrier Failure Analysis) or BSCAT (Barrier-based Systematic Causation Analysis Technique) method. You will hone your incident analysis skills through practical, hands-on exercises and games, related to realistic case studies.
Both method and software are put into practice as incidents are visualized and lessons learned distilled into concise reports with practicable recommendations.
Who should attend?
