What is Root Cause Analysis (RCA)?
Root Cause Analysis is a method used to identify the fundamental reasons behind a problem, error, or non-compliance issue. In aviation security—and other high-stakes fields like healthcare and engineering—RCA aims to go beyond simply addressing symptoms or immediate causes, instead digging deeper to uncover underlying issues that, if left unresolved, could lead to recurring problems or system weaknesses. By focusing on the “root cause,” organisations can implement corrective actions to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
Delegates of National Appropriate Authorities and Regulators. Security managers, supervisors and compliance monitoring staff.
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
- Understand RCA principles and importance
