Tripod Beta Practitioner Training Course

This course provides the skills needed to investigate and analyse incidents in a structured manner, with the aim to prevent recurrence and allow organisational learning. You will learn how to collect evidence and analyse that in order to identify barriers that should have prevented the incident, but which failed or were missing. This happens in most cases due to human activity – and we must understand that to identify the preconditions and underlying causes at the organisational level that explain why that activity – in hindsight an error – did occur. This systematic approach efficiently discriminates between relevant and irrelevant factors.

Tripod Beta is one of the few incident investigation methods that is explicitly aimed at identifying causes at the organisational level. Improvements at operational level usually have only a local and limited impact. Sustainable improvement, however, can only be achieved if deficiencies at the organisational level are resolved.

This Tripod Beta training is accredited by the Stichting Tripod Foundation, which maintains and develops the knowledge of Tripod Beta. Course participants who pass the knowledge assessment on the last day acquire Bronze Practitioner Accreditation. All course participants receive a certificate of attendance.
