What does Causal Analysis aim to achieve?

Causal Analysis primarily aims to minimize the recurrence of an incident by identifying the underlying causes of that incident. This process involves examining what led to the event in question, understanding the various contributing factors, and analyzing the context surrounding the incident. By doing so, it helps to prevent future occurrences through targeted interventions and improvements in practices and protocols.

The analysis can result in actionable insights, which might influence training or the development of support plans, but its core function is focused on understanding and addressing the root causes of issues to foster a safer and more effective support environment.
