Event Causal Analysis is determined as part of a Standard Investigation and is a critical aspect of determining the root cause(s) of any Event added to your System. Findings are recorded in the Event record in a hierarchical structure.

For example, if the root cause of an injury was that appropriate PPE was unavailable, we might choose a classification of:

• Equipment / Design at the top level

• PPE at the second level

• Use at the next

• PPE not available at the lowest level
  
  
  
   

Default selections available in this hierarchy are supplied with your System but these can be customised.

⚙️ Settings

To do this, begin in Settings, which is found toward the top of the screen. Click to expand the Events section, then select Event Causal Analysis.




 

➕ Add Item

Each level of the hierarchy is displayed as drop-down fields with selections in one cascading to the next.

To add a new item:

1. Use the drop-down fields to drill down to the level of the hierarchy where the new item belongs.

2. Type its name.

3. Click Save.
