Description
It has been proven to be an effective, helpful tool in the undertaking of a WorkSafe duty-holder review.
The Incident Cause Analysis Model (ICAM) is the investigation method of choice for some of New Zealand’s largest companies when investigating significant events. Based on the work of James Reason – known for the ‘Swiss Cheese’ or Cumulative Act model of accident causation – ICAM is a proven, effective and accessible investigation framework.
