Why Choose this Training Course?

Tripod Beta is a renowned method for incident analysis leading to proactive process control measures. It does not just focus on the immediate, human, causes of the incident, but identifies the structural flaws that allowed the incident in question to occur. The Investigation framework clarifies unknowns and uncertainties and thus leads to insights. Underlying causes are identified and lead to well considered conclusions and management actions, strengthening the organization's sustainability as well as business and safety performance. 

Scientific research at Leiden (NL) and Manchester (UK) Universities forms the backbone of the Tripod Theory. Many years of applied research and extensive practical use have made the matured Tripod theory the best solution for both proactive and reactive risk management. Many companies and other large organizations have gained the benefits of using the Tripod methodology, namely a considerable, measurable reduction in incident rates and a firm grip on risks.  

In the Tripod Beta methodology the investigation process goes hand-in-hand with the analysis process.
