Certification:
Accident Investigation Technician (AIT)
Course Objectives:
Accidents are unplanned and unintentional events that result in harm or loss to personnel, property, production, or nearly anything that has some inherent value. Accidents are rarely simple and almost never result from a single cause. Most accidents involve multiple, interrelated causal factors. Accidents can occur whenever significant deficiencies, oversights, errors, omissions, or unanticipated changes are present. Any one of these conditions can be a precursor for an accident; the only uncertainties are when the accident will occur and how severe its consequences will be. More
Learning Outcome:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to conduct complete accident investigations by collecting and analyzing data, identifying barriers in procedures, standards and requirements that lead to accidents, and implementing appropriate controls to prevent accidents.
Online Exams:
The student will take a comprehensive online exam at the end of the course. You must score 80% to receive certification. You have three opportunities to pass the exam.
Optional Credits:
The estimated time required to complete the course is 10 hours, but can be done at the student's own pace. One (1) CEU is offered through the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for this course. If you are interested in receiving CEU s for this course, upon successful completion of the exam please either download the form and instructions here or the obtain form and instructions from a Member Services Representative by calling 800-922-2219.
Recertification:
All NASP certifications require refresher training once every three years. The certifications should be refreshed before their expiration date. Click here for more details.

Course Objectives (cont.):
To conduct a complete accident/incident investigation, the factors contributing to an accident, as well as the means to prevent accidents, must be clearly understood. Management prevents or mitigates accidents by identifying and implementing the appropriate controls and barriers. Accidents occur when one or more barriers in a work system, including procedures, standards, and requirements intended to control the actions of workers, fail to perform as intended. The barriers may not exist, may not be adhered to, or simply may not be comprehensive enough to be effective. Personal performance and environmental factors may also reduce protection.
Understanding how to prevent or control accidents requires an understanding of the sequence of events leading to an accident in order to identify and implement countermeasures that contain risks.
The purpose of this course is to provide those responsible for conducting accident investigations with practical, detailed instruction on conducting these investigations. The course provides in-depth guidance, as well as specific tools and techniques, that will facilitate the investigation process.
