ICAM Investigator
2 days + pre-work
ICAM Investigator builds on the fundamentals and prepares participants to actively conduct and support
workplace investigations. Through a blend of theory and applied learning, participants deepen their
understanding of incident causation, the ICAM methodology, and the skills required to contribute
effectively as investigation team member.
The course emphasises structured evidence gathering, logical analysis, and the development of credible,
defensible findings that focus on system improvement rather than blame.
Participants gain practical investigation capabilities, including investigation planning, analysis of
evidence, contributing factor identification, and the formulation of effective recommendations. By the
end of the course, participants are equipped to lead low-level investigations and play a strong role in
more complex investigations. The course reinforces how robust and effective ICAM investigations directly
support risk management, strengthen control effectiveness, and enhance organisational learning, ensuring
investigations translate into meaningful safety improvements.
