ICAM Lead Investigator Course- Online Self-Paced e-Learning Course 

Course Duration: Up to 6 months

ICAM Training Course Overview 

ICAM (Incident Cause Analysis Method) is an internationally renowned, best practice systemic safety investigation analysis method. It aims to identify both local factors and failures within the broader organisation and productive system that contributed to the incident, such as communication, training, operating procedures, incompatible goals, change management, organisational culture and equipment. Through the analysis of this information, ICAM provides the ability to identify what really went wrong and to make recommendations on necessary remedial actions to reduce risk and build error-tolerant defences against future incidents. The ICAM process incorporates best practice Human Factors and Risk Management principles. ICAM methodology is used extensively by many of Australia’s leading industrial and mining organisations and throughout the world.
