Find the Truth. Prevent the Next Incident.
When something goes wrong, the quality of your investigation determines whether it happens again. ASPIS delivers rigorous, independent safety investigations that go beyond immediate causes to uncover the systemic failures, organisational factors, and management system gaps that create the conditions for incidents to occur.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Our Investigation Process
A structured, six-stage investigation process, designed to be thorough, defensible, and focused on producing the learning that prevents recurrence.
Initial Response & Scene Preservation
Rapid deployment to secure the scene, preserve physical evidence, and initiate witness accounts before memories fade and conditions change. We advise on immediate notification obligations and regulatory reporting requirements.
Evidence Gathering
Systematic collection of physical evidence, documentation, photographs, CCTV, maintenance records, risk assessments, training records, and management system documents — building a comprehensive evidential foundation for analysis.
Witness Interviews
Structured, trauma-informed interviews with witnesses, supervisors, and managers — using validated cognitive interview techniques to elicit accurate accounts whilst maintaining the dignity and wellbeing of those involved.
Causal Analysis
Applying structured methodologies — including root cause analysis, bow-tie, ICAM, or human factors frameworks — to map the causal chain from immediate events back to the underlying organisational and management system failures.
Report & Recommendations
A professionally written investigation report with an executive summary, detailed timeline, evidence log, graded causal factors, and specific, prioritised recommendations — structured to be credible to regulators and actionable for operational teams.
Learning & Follow-Through
We present findings to leadership, support the development and tracking of action plans, and can provide follow-up verification that critical recommendations have been effectively implemented — closing the loop between investigation and improvement.
ASPIS can be engaged at any stage of the investigation process — from immediate post-incident response through to independent review of a completed in-house investigation. All investigations are conducted in strict confidence, with appropriate privilege arrangements available where legal proceedings are anticipated. We have experience of investigations conducted under HSE scrutiny, coroner's proceedings, and civil litigation environments.
