Use this Root Cause Analysis (RCA) checklist to investigate incidents and prevent recurrence. Capture an incident summary, interim containment, and analyze potential causes across human factors, materials, measurement, equipment, process, and environment. Choose 5 Whys or Ishikawa to determine direct and basic causes, then document corrective and preventive actions, completion status, and lessons learned. Verify effectiveness through risk assessment review, procedure updates, communication of improvements, and witnessed actions. Finish with sign-off to close the investigation.
