NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation Online (Instructor-led)

Learn to investigate workplace incidents in a single day

The NEBOSH HSE Introduction to Incident Investigation is a one-day course, developed jointly by NEBOSH and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), that teaches you how to investigate health and safety incidents properly. You will learn to investigate straightforward incidents on your own and to play a useful part in team investigations of larger, more complex events, then turn your findings into an action plan that controls the risk.

NEBOSH exam fees are included in the course price.

This version is delivered live online by a tutor in a virtual classroom, so you can take part from the office or home with no travel.

Who is it for?

• Anyone who has to carry out incident investigations at work
• Managers, supervisors and employees
• Union and safety representatives
• People planning a career in health and safety

There are no formal entry requirements, although some existing health and safety knowledge helps, and many delegates have already completed another NEBOSH qualification.

Course duration

One day, including the 1-hour assessment.

Course content

The course covers a single unit, INV1, split into five elements:

• Incident terminology; the moral, legal and financial reasons to investigate; and management system requirements
• Human and organisational factors
• Investigating incidents
• Positive strategies for, and barriers to, successful interviews
• Advanced incident investigation techniques

Learning outcomes

• Investigate non-complex incidents without assistance
• Contribute to team investigations of more complex incidents
• Gather and analyse evidence, including interviewing witnesses using the PEACE model
• Produce an action plan that prevents recurrence and improves business performance
• Help build a positive health and safety culture in your organisation

Assessment

A 60-minute practical assessment based on a hypothetical accident. You review a pack of evidence and a video of three witness interviews, evaluate each interview and write an action plan to stop the incident happening again. NEBOSH usually issues results 10 to 12 weeks after the assessment, and certificates follow once results are published.

FAQ
