Incident Investigation in Aquatic Facilities
Lead structured investigations that uncover root causes, strengthen systems, and prevent incidents across aquatic facilities.
This program develops advanced capability in leading incident investigations within aquatic facilities, drawing on expert experience in investigation methodologies, root cause analysis, and system review. Participants will explore how effective investigations move beyond immediate causes to identify underlying system failures and contributing factors.
Using real incident case studies and investigation reports, participants will gain insight into common investigation pitfalls and best practice approaches. The program emphasises evidence-based investigation techniques, including data collection, interviews, and analysis of human and organisational factors. Participants will apply their learning through practical investigation exercises, developing reports and recommendations that support meaningful corrective action and continuous improvement across their organisation.

Modules Overview and Activity
The program begins with incident response and initial investigation actions, drawing on real case studies to examine how early decisions impact investigation outcomes. Participants will explore best practice approaches to securing scenes and initiating structured investigations.
The program then focuses on evidence collection, including interviews, documentation, and environmental analysis, supported by practical exercises. The program progresses to investigation methodologies, where participants apply root cause analysis and human factors frameworks to identify underlying system failures. The final module focuses on reporting and organisational learning, including developing actionable recommendations and using investigation findings to strengthen systems and prevent recurrence.
