Incident Investigations
Costello Safety Consulting LLC. can assist you with the investigation of your safety, reliability, quality, production, or environmental losses with proven, structured analysis techniques. We ensure that you get beyond the immediate causes of the event (the causal factors) and identify the root causes of the event(s). This allows effective recommendations to be identified that are targeted at preventing recurrence. We will work with you to develop a report that will withstand the scrutiny of regulators, internal reviews, the public, and the media. Our techniques apply to both acute (one-time) and chronic (repeated) events
​
We use a set of widely accepted and proven techniques (causal factor charting, fault tree analysis and change analysis) to gather and analyze information to identify the causal factors that contributed to the event. Then we determine the root causes by using the TapRoot Analysis process. Once the causal factors and root causes are identified, development of recommendations is generally a straightforward process.
