Over 30 years ago, we started with research into human performance and the best incident investigation and root cause analysis systems. We put our knowledge to use to build a systematic investigation process with a coherent investigation philosophy. Then, we used and refined the system in the field. We’ve performed formal user testing and informal focus group appraisals. In 1991, we wrote the first TapRooT® Manual that put all of this experience together into the best incident investigation system – TapRooT®!
TapRooT® is here to find, fix, and prevent root causes of workplace incidents, accidents, quality problems, near-misses, operational errors, hospital sentinel occurrences, and other types of problems. Our instructors comprise a strong staff of educational experts, teaching TapRooT® Essentials, Techniques, and more.
