ART-T: Analysis Reference Tree-Trunk

InterSafe uses this powerful and effective incident investigation model:

For Incidents resulting in Minor Damage InterSafe uses a reduction of the ART-T model – Essential Factors

ART-T Log

Features of the ART-T model
Clearly defined time zones
Structured analysis of essential and contributory factors for each element in each time zone
Provides for an increasing range of focussing questions from 4 to 16
Provides for an opportunity to identify a maximum number of essential and contributory factors and, therefore, potential points of control
Provides for exploring the management systems, policies, culture and other organisational factors that can predispose the incident sequence
Focuses on incident prevention AND damage reduction strategies
Can be applied to permanent disability, fatality, multiple fatality and catastrophic events by a specialised investigation team
Can be equally applied to other than human damage including loss of production, equipment and environmental damage
Clearly defines effective control measures in terms of being:
  • Viable – practical/does not introduce new risk
  • Achievable within capital constraints
  • Acceptable to end user
  • Compatible with the risk
  • Sustainable over time (eg. 3-5 years)
