MISHAP ANALYSIS (SERIOUS Incident Investigation)

Since 1990, the company’s biomedical engineers have analyzed the role of system safety and ethical leadership in injury prevention within hundreds of environments involving serious injury, most often within the context of personal injury civil and criminal litigation.

We have assisted corporations and legal professionals in their investigation of system safety failures to answer questions such as

• What was the root cause of the mishap?
• Did the injury incident occur in the manner in which it was reported?
• What role, if any, did individual error play in the cause of the injury?
• Under different conditions, would injury still occur?
• Did the injury result from engineering system failure and/or inadequate/unethical leadership?
