Tripod Beta Resources

The Tripod Beta Road Map is a practical reference guide for trained Tripod practitioners. It contains definitions, examples, guidance and best practices that support the investigation and analysis of incidents. Designed as a day-to-day reference tool, it helps practitioners apply Tripod Beta consistently and effectively.

The official Tripod Beta User Guide is published by the Energy Institute on behalf of the Stichting Tripod Foundation. It provides detailed guidance on the methodology, principles and application of Tripod Beta. Together with the Road Map, it forms a valuable resource for both learning and practical application.

Explore practical articles, guidance and insights on Tripod Beta, incident investigation, barrier thinking and organisational learning. These resources share lessons learned, common pitfalls and examples from operational practice. New content is added regularly to support continuous learning and development.

Tripod Lite is a free incident investigation tool published by the Energy Institute on behalf of the Stichting Tripod Foundation. Based on the principles of Tripod Beta, it provides a practical and structured approach for investigating simpler incidents and near misses, helping organisations identify weak signals and strengthen everyday learning.
