The Kelvin TOP-SET Incident Investigation System - What is TOP-SET®?

TOP-SET is an incident investigation methodology. It incorporates both incident investigation and analysis components to form a complete investigation process that takes the investigator from developing a team, data gathering, and investigating to generate evidence, to interviewing witnesses, analysing evidence, preparing recommendations and actions, and reporting.

It can be used to investigate all levels of incident, from minor incidents or near hits to large-scale incidents or fatalities, to find out what caused an incident, and to prevent similar occurrences from happening.

The system forms the basis of a range of products and services, including:

Courses:

• 3-Day Senior Investigator Course
• 1-Day Investigator Course
• Tailored Courses

Software products:

• Investigators' BlackBox
• Investigator 3

Tools & Materials:

• Quick Investigation Kit
• Practical Handbook of Investigation
• Investigation Materials

Investigation Services:

• 24 Hour Emergency Response
• Leading Investigations

TOP-SET helps investigators to think their way through an incident, gathering information and evidence with as open a mind as possible during the data gathering and investigation stages, and then, once a clear picture of events has emerged, helping the investigator to analyse the information, determining causal links to uncover the immediate causes, underlying causes and root causes of the incident.
