Root cause analysis for EHS and safety teams
Good investigations go past 'human error' to the conditions that made the error likely. RapidRCA's ROOTS method pushes the analysis to the underlying cause and keeps every action owned until it is closed. It supports your investigation and does not replace your incident procedures or legal duties.
Typical problems
- Investigations that stop at 'human error'
- Corrective actions with no owner or due date
- Near misses that never get analysed
- Proof of follow-up that is hard to produce
How RapidRCA helps
- Structured steps from the problem to the root cause and the fix.
- Give every action an owner, a due date and a status, and track it until it is closed.
- A saved record with evidence photos and a printable or Word report.
- Repeat Finder can show which equipment faults keep appearing in your logs.
