I am looking for a good accident investigation video for some training that I am developing at the moment.

I am looking for something that looks at immediate, underlying and root causes and also in human factors.

If it applies to the offshore industry even better.

Cheers, Ian.

Hi Ian,
We use a video/dvd called 'Accident Investigation, The Facts' published by Safety Media. It is very good and is an ideal tool to support a more in depth accident investigation course. We deliver both internal & external Accident Investigation training and always use it to supplement our training presentation.
It is good to use in any workplace as the principals of accident investigation are more or less the same in any working environmaent.
Hope this helps.

Rob.

I don't think this is quite what you mean, but I find the BBC video of the Severn Tunnel train crash from their disaster series is great for incident investigation with regard to human factors.

It divides very neatly into two parts. The first goes through failures that caused a problem with the signalling system. The second goes through why it took two hours for emergency services to get to the crashed trains.

On human factors courses I run I show the video to the group and ask them to develop a 'why tree' to explain the signalling problem and another to explain the delayed response. They need to break these down to identify human errors and then further to identify the root causes. I provide flip charts and post-it notes for them to develop the trees.

Hi Andy

Where can I obtain a copy of this video? Does the BBC have a central source?

Many thanks

Why not use the Piper Alpha video?

Can be viewed on digital TV Disaster Channel usually, but I presume recording it for training purposes might breach copyright.

Maybe someone knows of another source?

Piper Alpha video is also available from BBC Active, but is in series 1 of the Disaster series. See http://www.bbcactive.com.../catsearch.asp?series=71

My opinion it gives a good account of the accident, but is not so good at illustrating the causes.
