The 2-Day TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course focuses on the essential TapRooT® Techniques needed to investigate low- to medium-risk incidents and precursor incidents.

Attendees should bring an incident from their facility to use in a team exercise. These may be either written reports, or they may have knowledge of an incident with no written report. We divide into teams of 2-4 people and have each team analyze a different problem during the course.
