INCIDENT CAUSATION ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
(ICAM)
Developed by BHP this is a systematic
approach to incident investigation, finding Root Cause of
incidents and accidents and having a process in place to ensure
that the corrective actions undertaken are effective in the
prevention of reoccurrence.
James Reason's work on Human Error
Factors with understanding and accepting that humans will
make mistakes, allows us through the Swiss Cheese Model to
delve into the organization to identify the failing that lead
to the occurrence.
Our trainers from high risk steel and
mining industries have vast experience in the use of ICAM
as an investigation tool.
Experienced in the role of investigation
leader, ICAM facilitator and trainer, our aim is to seek collaboration
from workforce and managers to develop a safer workplace.
Root Cause Analysis shrouded in high
brow terms and generally regarded too complex to comprehend
for the layman, let alone agree with any outcomes. Where the
potential outcome means change; the opposition to change often
resulted in the potential safety benefits lost.
ICAM is a simple open and honest approach
that properly used removes the smoke and mirror syndrome,
engagement and buy in to investigation corrective actions
is far more acceptable.
