Accident Investigation Training

The Accident Investigation Course is meant to enable those who carry out or are responsible for accident investigations to examine and analyze the real cause of any accident. This will involve considering the details and information collected from the site of any accident and from witnesses and then analyzing this data to determine an accident’s cause as well as developing preventative measures or a plan to improve and rectify an issue to prevent similar accidents from occurring.
