Recommendation LADB-35: Train SPAD investigators in human factors and root cause analysis

Persons who investigate, and make recommendations as a consequence of, SPADs should be trained in the identification of human factors and in root cause analysis. Their competence in these areas should be formally recorded, and renewed by refresher courses. The analysis of SPAD data should be specifically directed to eliciting the part played by human factors and assessing the significance of the hazards against which the signals which have been passed at Danger were intended to afford protection (para 11.31).
