Incident analysis involves a systematic approach to understanding the underlying causes of an incident. The following steps are typically involved:
Data Collection: Gather all relevant information, including the incident report, witness statements, and operational data. Root Cause Analysis: Use techniques such as the Five Whys or Fishbone Diagram to identify the fundamental cause of the incident. Impact Assessment: Evaluate the impact of the incident on the catalytic process, including any downtime, loss of productivity, or safety risks. Corrective Actions: Develop and implement measures to address the root cause and prevent recurrence. Review and Documentation: Document the findings and actions taken, and review the incident to ensure that corrective measures are effective.
