Incident Investigation Training Course

Despite all of our best efforts, accidents and incidents still happen at sea, resulting in loss of life, injuries, pollution or extra costs. In this course we look at the benefits of incident investigation in preventing future accidents. We describe the professional methods and terminology used in incident investigation, such as ‘cause and effect’ and how measures can be put in place to prevent future accidents.
