Learn this next generation root cause analysis (RCA) method and tool to reactively assess and understand cultural issues that led to a major accident or series of incidents. Corrective actions addressing these cultural issues, if effective, are valuable because they positively impact seemingly unrelated areas of performance, including safety, quality and reliability.

The Cultural Cause Analysis™ (CCA) approach was developed by the same authors of Root Cause Analysis: A Guide to Efficient and Effective Incident Investigations and the authors of the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) book, Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety, which is recognized globally by high-hazard industries as the benchmark for process safety management (PSM) practices.

CCA is an extension of RCA and this course is designed for individuals that have formal RCA training and/or are knowledgeable with the fundamentals of RCA. The Cultural Cause Analysis™ method deepens your ability to assess the underlying behaviors, actions and cultural issues that allowed management system weaknesses (root causes) to exist and led to equipment or human performance gaps that caused an incident(s).
