Tripod-BETA is a methodology for conducting an incident analysis in parallel with the investigation, supported by a PC-based tool. Interaction between these two processes - investigation and analysis - provides the investigators with confirmation of the relevance of their fact gathering and highlights avenues of investigation pointing to the identification of underlying causes. The benefit to the analysis process is that logical anomalies can be highlighted and resolved while the investigation is still active. The net result is a deeper and more comprehensive investigation and a clearer understanding of the failures that must be addressed in order to make significant and lasting improvements in incident prevention.
The net result is a deeper and more comprehensive investigation and a clearer understanding of the failures that must be addressed in order to make significant and lasting improvements in incident prevention. The methodology is supported by software that provides the means to collect and assemble the facts from the investigation and manipulate them on screen into a graphic representation of the event and its causes - an incident tree. The program tests the tree structure to ensure that it is logical in terms of the Tripod theory of accident causation, and that other rules applying to the investigation have been followed. An incident report is generated both for draft distribution and for final publication.
