Incident Investigations
Tripod Beta Training Course arranged- book now

We are pleased to announce that the externally accredited Tripod Beta investigation course will be held on the 5th to the 8th May 2013.

Tripod is the acknowledged investigation tool for PDO and contractors when a serious high potential incident, fatality or Tier 1 Asset Integrity incident has to be investigated and its use should form an integral part of the investigation and influence the deeper management findings which other tools might not discover.

All contractors who have a serious incident are required to head an investigation and so should have a Tripodian or at least access to the services of one. PDO should also have Tripodians in each Directorate to enable them to conduct them in-house.

The course costs are RO100 for PDO staff and RO999 for contractor staff. Anyone wishing to attend should contact Nigel Pitt, on npitt@kgonline.org to book their place.

We can only provide the course if there are sufficient numbers of delegates and it will also be on a first come first served basis with a blend of contractors and PDO together.

We need to improve our incident investigation skills and this course is a key step toward building capability to do that.

We will also be building a system to ensure Tripodians get the opportunity to practice their newly acquired tripod skills by working together and on simulated incidents so that once learnt the skills are not lost.
