Dutch Safety Board employs Tripod to analyse the Schiphol-fire.

Tripod is part of their "method of operation" in case of obligatory investigations. See their method of operation, where the Tripod "What, How and Why did it happen" assessment is at the core of its model.

Become an accredited Tripod Beta Practitioner

A Tripod Beta Practitioner investigates and analyses incidents using the Tripod Theory of incident causation. Accordingly, this person must be competent in the understanding of the Tripod Beta methodology and also its application when investigating and analysing incidents. When these competencies have been satisfactorily assessed, the person is said to be an “Accredited Tripod Beta PRACTITIONER”.

Accreditation as a Tripod Beta Practitioner is applicable to those who:

  • Attend an “Open” training course, (i.e., open to individuals who want to be trained and accredited)
  • Attend an “In House” training course for a specific company
  • Want to be accredited but who do not want to undertake the formal Tripod Beta Practitioner training course.

 

Attending a Tripod Beta Practitioner training course is not compulsory, although attending one would greatly assist in passing this assessment. Those not undertaking the formal Tripod Beta Practitioners training course will be subject to exactly the same assessment on “Tripod Beta Knowledge” as those who do undertake the training.

For more information, please contact our accreditation desk.
