Incident investigation built for oil and gas operations.
High-energy systems, remote sites and contractor crews. Every investigation runs through ICAM, so a failed barrier is traced back to the management system that let it degrade.

Built for the hazards of oil and gas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Well control | Kick-detection failures, blowout-preventer faults and pressure-control events. | Well programme design, competency verification and real-time monitoring. |
| Fire, explosion and hydrocarbon release | Loss of containment, ignition and uncontrolled releases. | Mechanical integrity, management of change and hot-work permits. |
| Chemical and toxic exposure | H₂S exposure, chemical spills and inhalation. | Atmospheric monitoring, emergency response and muster. |
| Isolation and maintenance | Unexpected releases of energy during maintenance. | Isolation management, permit to work and verification of isolation. |
| Lifting and rigging | Dropped objects, crane and rigging failures on decks and rig floors. | Lift planning, equipment inspection and banksman competency. |
| Marine and diving | Vessel incidents, man overboard and dive operations. | Pre-job risk assessment, communications and emergency preparedness. |
| Road transport | Vehicle incidents on the way to and between sites. | Journey management, fatigue management and vehicle condition. |
| Camps and accommodation | Food safety, fire and personal safety in remote camps. | Facility management and contractor camp standards. |
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.
