Investigation of incidents
Investigation of incidents and near misses is a key part of most company safety management systems. Incident investigations provide warnings that designs and operations may not be achieving the safety objectives assumed.
Good investigation goes beyond immediate and basic technical causes and seeks to examine management systems, rootcauses and safety failures.
RelyOn Australia provides an independent investigation service using experts familiar with the electrical supply industry, networks, plant procedures and regulations.
Our Subject Matter Experts hold qualifications in ICAMs and Quality Auditing.
