HSL: Principles of Incident Investigation and Failure Analysis – 6 July 2017
HSL is to run a 1 day course on Principles of Incident Investigation and Failure Analysis.
6 July 2017
Introduction
The ability to carry out a detailed and accurate mechanical failure analysis is a key skill for many sectors of industry particularly engineering, manufacturing and research and development. From costly delays in production due to the failure of vital plant or tooling through to catastrophic failures with potential insurance and safety implications; all require the application of scientific analytical methods of inquiry.
HSL are offering a unique opportunity to engage directly with our incident investigation professionals and take full advantage of our decades of failure analysis experience. This course is aimed at individuals or companies that maintain, contract or are seeking to develop failure analysis capability. While the course will focus primarily on the investigation of mechanical and engineering failures, many of the principles covered will be directly transferable to investigations of any type. The course will explain the common strategies and tactics of the failure analysis process from the initial response through to presenting your findings.
The course will address the following areas:
- Roles and responsibilities
- Strategy and tactics of incident investigation and failure analysis
- Initial Inspection
- Identification and collection of evidence
- Record and note keeping
- Common failure mechanisms
- Establishing cause and contributory factors
- Engaging scientific support
- Presenting your findings
