Course overview
This training program explores the true value of a thorough crash investigation, allowing for the identification of trends and development of strategies to mitigate risks on our road networks. The program is designed to challenge the traditional way of thinking, adopting a more wholistic approach to investigation, and to provide real safety solutions.
This course will cover the basics of crash investigation, including: what defines a crash? What role does the human play in a crash sequence? Why is the friction coefficient of the roadway so important? It will then extend into common crash types and the underlying physical principals associated with each one; understanding the risk factors; injury and mortality rates; and remedial measures.
After understanding each crash type, the program culminates with an introduction into the Blameless Investigation. The commonality of risk factors associated with the human highlights the need for the adoption of the Blameless Investigation and the benefits that can be garnered through this type of thinking. The ability for the system to more readily predict the effect that the vehicle and environment have on a crash sequence allows for the implementation of appropriate measures to prevent and/or mitigate the associated risks, using a hierarchy of controls.
