CAST Virtual Class

In this virtual course, you will learn to analyze loss events using CAST (Causal Analysis based on Systems Theory) to develop more effective solutions and recommendations. We will explore the core principles of CAST, demonstrating how it captures complex accident causes in five manageable steps. Throughout the course, you’ll gain the intuition and practical tips needed to master each step of the process using real-world examples.
