Incident investigation built for construction sites.
Many employers on one site, a tight programme and a regulator who expects a systemic answer. Every investigation runs through ICAM, so the findings reach the management system, not only the person nearest the event.

Built for construction’s leading causes of harm.
The method is the same on every case. What the investigation has to look at depends on the hazard.
| Hazard | The events | Where the analysis reaches |
|---|---|---|
| Falls from height | Scaffold failures, edge-protection gaps and ladder incidents. | Fall-prevention design, inspection frequency, permit-to-work quality and supervision. |
| Struck-by and caught-between | Plant and pedestrian interaction, falling objects and crane lifts. | Traffic management plans, exclusion zones, spotters and lift planning. |
| Electrical contact | Buried-service strikes, overhead lines and temporary power. | Locating services before digging, isolation and electrical permits. |
| Excavation and trenching | Collapse, engulfment and spoil-pile instability. | Soil assessment, shoring inspection, confined-space entry and atmospheric monitoring. |
| Hot work and fire | Welding, grinding and cutting. | Hot-work permits, fire watch and control of combustible material. |
| Structural and formwork failure | Propping failures, formwork collapse and instability during construction. | Design review, temporary-works sign-off and inspection. |
| Manual handling | Musculoskeletal injuries: frequent, and often under-investigated. | Task design, rotation and the pressure that bypasses mechanical aids. |
| Subcontractor management | Events at the principal-contractor interface. | Pre-qualification, induction quality and supervision frequency. |
One investigation, end to end.
Log the event
Classification, location in your site structure, people involved and the first description.
Build the timeline
Photos, statements and documents attached to the sequence of events. The coach flags gaps.
Analyse with ICAM
Absent or failed defences, individual or team actions, task or environmental conditions, organisational factors.
Generate the report
Evidence, timeline, causal analysis and recommendations in one formatted document.
Take actions to verified
Owners and due dates stay visible until each action is checked and verified.
It sits alongside your system of record.
Keep the EHS platform your site already runs. InvestigatePro is where the investigation gets done properly, and its output feeds that platform.
