Accident Investigation Training
Course overview
The course is informed by RIS-3119-TOM, the Rail Industry Standard (RIS) for Accident and Incident Investigation. This RIS sets out the requirements to fulfil legal obligations for investigations involving more than one duty holder, so that system improvements necessary to prevent or reduce the likelihood of recurrence, or mitigate the consequences, are identified and implemented.
Delegates will take part in informative and interactive sessions that will bring the process of accident investigation to life. You will work in teams to learn tools and techniques from the people who help the industry to set best practice.
This course is delivered as face-to-face over two days or remotely over three days.
