At Neftaly, our commitment to workplace safety goes beyond addressing immediate hazards — we prioritize understanding the underlying causes of safety incidents to prevent recurrence. Our Root Cause Analysis (RCA) process is a key tool in achieving this goal.
???? What Is Root Cause Analysis?
Root Cause Analysis is a systematic approach used to identify the fundamental reasons why a safety incident occurred. Rather than focusing solely on the symptoms or immediate causes, RCA digs deeper to uncover underlying system failures, process gaps, or human factors.
????️ Neftaly’s Root Cause Analysis Process

Timely and accurate documentation of the safety incident is essential. - Data Collection

Creating targeted solutions that address root causes, not just surface-level issues. - Implementation and Monitoring
