Incident and ICAM Investigations — Christchurch & NZ

When a serious incident occurs, the way you respond matters. Safe and Sound Consultants provide independent, expert-led investigations that get to the root of what went wrong — so you can take the right corrective actions and prevent it from happening again.

Incident Investigation & ICAM

What Is Incident Investigation?

When an accident or incident occurs in your workplace, a thorough investigation is essential — not just to meet your legal obligations, but to genuinely understand what went wrong and why. A poor investigation misses root causes, leaves hazards unaddressed, and puts your workers at risk of the same incident happening again.

The Incident Causation Analysis Method (ICAM) is a structured, evidence-based investigation methodology that cuts through the complexity of serious incidents. Rather than focusing on individual blame, ICAM identifies the full web of interlinked causes, from immediate factors through to organisational and systemic issues, and organises them in a way that points clearly to the most appropriate corrective actions.

How Safe and Sound Consultants Can Help

Our trained, independent investigators conduct fair and impartial investigations following serious workplace incidents. Working independently from your business means findings are credible, defensible, and free from internal bias — which matters to your workers, your leadership, and regulators like WorkSafe.

We manage the investigation process from start to finish, delivering clear findings and practical recommendations your business can act on with confidence.
