Our Story
Deeper analysis and more impactful outcomes
Our vision is to equip organisations with the clarity and predictive data they need to reduce serious injuries in high-hazard environments.
Over the years, we have consolidated our real-world expertise, independent research, and industry insights to offer an unparalleled approach to risk management. Our approach is more than just traditional consulting – we also provide clients with an expert SaaS system for diagnostic projects that we’ve built off the back of 10,000 incidents analyses since 2020. This product helps to fast-track the sharing of proven models that have been developed and applied over countless industrial projects.
As we look to the future, in 2025 our team will also launch its SCALE(R) investigation app. The app will share comprehensive accredited e-learning and coaching tools for safety professionals, leaders and organisations and help us create a new standard in which serious injuries become far and few in between.

SCALE® Analysis
Incident Analytics developed the SCALE® analysis technology to determine which incidents merit deep-dive analysis, and better understand the people, operational, and system factors that contribute to the conditions for unplanned events to occur. This methodology has been proven to more accurately determine precursors to serious incidents and improve control effectiveness
Severity
Is there potential for a serious incident and what was the specific high risk task context?
Controls
Which (critical) controls - if fully implemented - would have stopped this incident from occurring?
Antecedents
Which human, operational, and organisational system factors helped to set the scene for the incident?
Learning
Which of the contributing factors should be prioritised for remediation action?
Exposure
Which actions will have the greatest impact on exposure and reduce the potential for a repeat event?
