Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for a causal analysis
- Identify, obtain and assemble background documentation to collate all relevant facts and information that may guide and contribute to the causal analysis.
- Identify relevant personnel and request them to provide input to the causal analysis.
- Identify and assemble other relevant sources of information regarding injury causation.
- Identify, specify and prepare methods and tools to be used in the analysis.
- Identify the contributing factors involved in causing injury
- Review relevant information sources to determine contributing factors typically involved in causing injury.
- Observe activities and review if needed.
- Conduct interviews with relevant personnel.
- Review contexts in which the activities are commonly conducted.
- Analyse components and aspects of activities which appear to be associated with greater risk of injury in detail.
- Record data using organisational analytical tools in order to compile inputs to the analysis.
- Determine, validate and record final list of contributing factors involved in injury causation by cross referencing results from all causal analysis activities.
- Undertake a root cause analysis
- Recommend countermeasures
- Identify countermeasures where possible, for each root cause of injury, from available information and subject matter experts.
- Develop countermeasures from first principles, in consultation with subject matter experts, where no proven countermeasure can be identified.
- Prepare written and oral causal analysis report, including details of recommended countermeasures, and deliver to decision makers for consideration.
