About the IIP Certification
Investigations fail when they stop at human error, and organizations then repeat the same event.

- Define incidents, near misses and dangerous occurrences.
- Build a reporting system people actually trust.
- Meet OSHA, RIDDOR and ISO 45001 notification duties.
- Apply causation models including Swiss Cheese and barriers.
- Scale and lead the investigation process.
