FAST RCA of Incidents
Investigate and Find the Root Causes of Precursor Incidents FAST!
A Precursor Incident is a minor incident that could have been a major accident if one or two more Safeguards had failed. To read more about these incidents, CLICK HERE. It is important to do a good job investigating precursor incidents with low actual consequences because they could have been major accidents if one or two more things had gone wrong. The corrective actions you develop for a precursor incident could prevent a major accident! But how do you investigate precursor incidents and find their root causes? How do you do fast RCA well?
Doing a fast but thorough root cause analysis of precursor incidents is especially important if your facility has dozens or even hundreds of these precursor incidents each year. Why? Because you can’t afford to investigate each one with the same amount of effort that you put into a major accident investigation, but you still need to recommend effective corrective actions.
What Do You Do for FAST RCA?
You need to adopt a simple investigation methodology that gives you excellent results with the minimum amount of effort.
We can help. How? With a system we developed for thorough but fast investigations using the proven TapRooT® RCA techniques.
We took the essential techniques of the famous TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis System and put them in an easy-to-read book (Using the Essential TapRooT® Techniques to Investigate Low-to-Medium Risk Incidents by Mark Paradies and Linda Unger) and made that book the basis for our 2-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Training. This training can help you perform fast, high-quality investigations of precursor incidents.
