| Incident Investigation - The InterSafe Way |
Our individual belief systems, or models, tend to dictate our perceptions. We tend to see things not as they are, but as we believe or expect them to be. Our beliefs or models can be either empowering or limiting depending on whether they help or hinder us in achieving our goals. Nowhere is this more evident than in incident investigation, where prejudices, preconceptions and value judgements reign along with limiting beliefs such as “most accidents are caused by human error/unsafe acts”. Such models, subconsciously, restrict the flow of information and result in many relevant factors in an incident sequence being missed.

| Incidents involving Minor or Temporary Damage: | Incidents involving Permanent or Fatal Damage: |

InterSafe's models guide an objective observation of an incident sequence by introducing a frame of reference which:
- Is conceptually clear
- Is cohesive and logical
- Is scientific
- Helps maximise the identification of relevant factors and therefore potential points of control
We can:
- Facilitate your site investigation
- Value add as a member of your site team
- Review quality and quantity of investigative processes completed by others
- Investigate and report as an independent party
- Train in both the Essential Factors and ART-T models
InterSafe's values ensure sensitivity to:
- The emotional state of people close to the incident
- The implications of serious accidents for organisations, their people and Boards of Directors
- The presence of Police, Statutory Authorities (Mining Inspectorate, W. H. & S. authorities etc)
- Legal issues
- Organisational issues such as downtime, production interruptions etc
- Confidentiality
- Corporate values of compassion and integrity.
