An Immersion Experience: Why You Should Attend Our New TapRooT® Refresher Track
At the 2023 Global TapRooT® Summit, we will introduce a new track: TapRooT® Refresher – An Immersion Experience. Anyone looking to understand the latest TapRooT® techniques and technology better or who wants to refresh their TapRooT® skills should attend this fun interactive track.
In addition to attending proven sessions that appear at every Summit What’s New In the TapRooT® Software and Road Map to Success), the track will feature seven new sessions designed to “refresh” your TapRooT® skills.
This “refresh” will happen in an immersion atmosphere that follows a dramatic safety incident from start to finish. As an investigator, you will: witness an incident, gather evidence, record your initial findings, perform an investigation, analyze your findings, identify causal factors and root causes, create impactful solutions, and report the results.
All of this is done using the provided TapRooT® technology (TapRooT® App and TapRooT® VI software) and techniques (SnapCharT®, Causal Factor Worksheet, Root Cause Tree® and Dictionary, and the Corrective Action Helper®) to experience the total immersion of this theatrical event, plan to attend all the sessions and see how it plays out. We’ll ensure you are not left behind if you are interested in only one or a few topics.

Witnessing an Incident & Gathering Evidence with the TapRooT® App
