Incident Loss Analysis Implementation Training

Incident Loss Analysis Implementation Training Overview

When faced with project challenges, people often behave in ways contrary to safe work practices. When teams possess the knowledge and training necessary to prevent errant behavior, risks and losses can be minimized.

For most project site losses, the proper procedures or processes are known and understood but not followed. The Zurich Resilience Solutions (ZRS) incident loss analysis implementation training (ILA) program is designed to help change employee behaviors that deviate from safe work practices by uncovering potential losses before they occur.

The process begins by understanding common points of failure among PEME in order to protect your people, property and profits. Our risk engineers help you create a reliable, reflective learning environment that adapts to changing conditions and helps avoid making errors. By anticipating potential risks and losses, your team can react differently to challenging circumstances.

Taking insights from Normal Accident Theory (Perrow, C. 1999¹) and combining them with ZRS history of claims analysis, we have found that a sufficiently complex system can be expected to have many unanticipated failure mode interactions, making it vulnerable to variance. This is particularly true when tight coupling of various systems is involved, which can lead to damaging chain reactions.

While it is not always possible to prevent something you cannot expect to occur, when organizations reasonably anticipate potential losses from foreseeable risks, team members often act differently to reduce the likelihood of injury and damage.

The ZRS ILA helps managers, contractors and project team members identify risky activities and actions to formulate and implement action plans that prioritize safety.
