Understand What Happened—and Why
B² approaches incidents as systems problems. The investigation can integrate physical evidence, process conditions, chemical hazards, procedures, interviews, equipment, controls and organizational factors.
Independent Technical Investigation
- Incident reconstruction and timeline development
- Interviews and evidence review
- Chemical and process factors
- Equipment and facility conditions
- Human and organizational factors
- Root-cause and contributing-cause analysis
- Corrective and preventive action development
- Executive-level findings and briefings
Near Misses Are Data
Near-miss investigation can identify weak controls before an injury, release or operational loss occurs. B² can also help organizations build stronger reporting and follow-through systems.
Clear Corrective Actions
Findings should translate into ownership, priority and practical controls. Recommendations can address engineering, procedures, training, inspection, management systems and verification of completion.
