What is IncidentXP?
The tripod method is a way of conducting incident analysis. It is mostly used for high risk, complex incidents, since it is a very extensive and detailed method. In order to construct an effective tripod beta investigation and analysis, training is highly recommended. A Tripod Beta tree is built in three steps.

IncidentXP is an incident analysis software product which uses the same software framework as BowTieXP. This makes it possible to link incident analysis information to risk assessment information. However, IncidentXP can also be used as full-fledged stand-alone incident analysis tool.
Tripod Beta Guidance
The software is designed to learn from all incidents that have occurred in your company. The type of incidents may range from process deviations, to near misses, to small incidents, to major accidents. And the incidents can relate to both Process Safety and Personal Safety.
Why IncidentXP?
Learning from incidents is a challenge for most organizations. One of the biggest reasons for this is that the analysis performed on the incident does not provide an adequate basis for high quality recommendations which will change the organization for the better while still being realistic. IncidentXP will assist you in making recommendation focused on a specific barrier or on the organizational level (basic risk factor level).
Driver updater activation code free. Only using incident analysis is not enough. Bowtie risk assessment can be used to check if the investigation covered everything that was supposed to be done before we finalize an incident analysis. Additional, the incident analysis results should link back to the risk assessment to aggregate and detect trends across incidents. By providing both risk assessment (BowTieXP) and risk monitoring (IncidentXP) we close the circle of Deming (plan-do-check-act) within 1 software framework.
Tripod – Beta
The tripod method is a way of conducting incident analysis. It is mostly used for high risk, complex incidents, since it is a very extensive and detailed method. Training is highly recommended when using the tripod method.
A Tripod Beta tree is built in three steps. The first step is to ask the question: ‘what happened?'. All the events that happened in the incident are listed as a chain of events. The next step is to identify the barriers that failed to stop this chain of events. The question that is asked in this step is: ‘How did it happen?'. When all the events and the failed barriers in between are identified, the reason for failure of these barriers is analyzed. The last question for this step is: ‘Why did it happen?'. For each of the failed barriers a causation path is identified.

For each of the failed barriers a causation path is identified.
All the items that appear in the Tripod Beta method are explained in more detail below.
1. What happened?
First it needs to be identified what happened during the incident; what events occurred. This is the core of the tripod diagram and is represented with three shapes, the head ‘trio'. These three elements are:
- Event
- Hazard
- Object
The trio can be explained as an AND gate, both the Hazard and the Object need to be present for the Event to occur. The Hazard acts on the Object to change its state or condition that is described as the Event. In a tripod tree there can be multiple trios. Hazards and Objects can form new Events.
Event
In the tripod theory an Event is a happening, a ‘change of state', whereby an object is affected by a Hazard. All events may cause potential injury, damage or loss. Examples of events are:
- Cut in a finger
- Car collision
- A failed money investment
Hazard
A Hazard is an entity with the potential to change, harm or damage an object upon which it is acting. Hazards can be a physical energy source or can have a more abstract nature. Examples of a Hazard are:
- Working on height
- Explosive material
- Economic crisis
Object
The Object is the item that is changed by the Hazard. The Object can be someone or something that is harmed, changed or damaged. Examples of Objects are:
- Employee
- IT system
- Environment
2. How did it happen?
Barriers
The second step in the tripod analysis is to analyze how the incident could have happened by identifying the failed barriers. The barriers can be placed between the Hazard and the Event and between the Object and the Event. To identify these two types of barriers two questions are asked:
What Barriers should have prevented the exposure to the Hazard?
What Barriers should have protected the Object from the Hazard?
A Barrier is something that should prevented the meeting of an Object and a Hazard. It protects people, assets, environment from the negative consequences of a Hazard. Barriers can have their effect on the Hazard (e.g. insulation) or the Object (e.g. PPE). In a Tripod analysis a Barrier can be qualified as failed, missing or effective.
3. Why did it happen?
Tripod Beta Analysis Software
The last step is to identify why the incident happened; what caused the Barriers to fail. To analyze this we follow a certain pathway, called the ‘Causation Path'. The causation path consists of three items:
- Immediate Cause
- Precondition
- Underlying Cause
Immediate Cause
Tripod Beta software download, free
The Immediate Cause explains the human act that directly caused the Barrier to break. The Tripod method is based on the Human Error theory. This theory states that incidents happen when people make errors and fail to keep the barriers functional or in place. These errors are Immediate Causes. Examples of Immediate causes are:
- Neglecting to wear PPE
- Wrong design decision
- Inappropriate use of tools
Precondition
The Precondition is the environmental, situational or psychological ‘state' in which the Active Failure takes place. It explains the context of the human error and it provides the control breaching capacity of the Active Failure. This can be related to supervision, training, instructions, procedures, etc. Examples of Preconditions are:
- Bad sight
- Budget squeeze
- Poor ergonomics of tools
Underlying Cause
Underlying Causes are the organizational or systemic deficiencies that create Preconditions. The Underlying Cause acts on a system level, it always involves the organization. A Underlying Cause is not incidental, but is present for a longer time; it is an underlying failure. Examples of Underlying Causes are:
- Inadequate training
- Failure to identify hazards
- Imbalanced budgets
- TRIPOD Services
Better learning from incidents
Take the opportunity to find out that the Tripod method may be is the best method to identify the underlying factors of your incidents and near misses. By removing these underlying factors ('Latent Failures'), a whole range of future incidents are prevented. You will make a step change in Safety!
Tripod uses the failing/ missing barrier approach. These barriers need to be identified and then placed in a simple structure ('Tripod Tree) for further analysis. The further analysis is an interactive team effort. The TR2 webapplication software facilitates the proces and the reporting.

Better learning from incidents (with Tripod)
A Tripod workshop is organised by SSC, in corporation with DHV. As sponsors of the Working On Safety (WOS) conference), we offer the participants a free workshop, just preceding the start of the registration at the conference (11 september, 15.00 hr). We feel that the safety potential of the Tripod method needs to be known more widely.
Date:11 September 2012, 9.30- 15.00 hr.
Location: Sheraton hotel, Sopot Poland (same hotel as hosting the WOS conference). Registration for the conference starts at 15.00 hr. in this hotel.
