When incidents occur, most organisations ask: What happened? Fewer ask the question that actually matters: Why did it happen, and how do we stop it from happening again?
This shift from managing incidents to reducing them is where real progress begins.
COMET is a software company helping high-risk industries improve safety and efficiency through data-driven intelligence. Designed and developed in Aberdeen, the platform is trusted by organisations across energy, construction, rail, marine, and manufacturing to investigate, understand, and prevent incidents before they escalate.
At its core, COMET provides a structured methodology for Investigations and Root Cause Analysis (RCA), built by investigators, for investigators. The platform features a coded taxonomy of 62 root causes across five categories: Communication, Operating Environment, Management, Equipment, and Training. Intuitive Root Maps guide users through analysis, while integrated human factors tools help teams move beyond “human error” to uncover the deeper organisational factors influencing behaviour and decision-making.
The result is consistent, high-quality investigations that identify systemic issues.
COMET comes with embedded Power BI dashboards, connecting investigation data with wider performance trends to reveal patterns across incidents, locations, and time. This cumulative intelligence helps organisations anticipate risks, target interventions, and measure the impact of preventive actions. It’s this connected view of safety performance that enables the shift from reactive response to proactive prevention.
Too often, organisations invest in systems that record what’s happened without helping them understand why or what to do next. COMET bridges that gap, turning incident data into prevention intelligence.
COMET integrates seamlessly into leading EHSQ systems, helping organisations turn incident data into prevention intelligence. Strategic partnerships with organisations such as Intelex, Arcadis, and others enable COMET to be embedded within large-scale EHS&S programmes worldwide.
Built in collaboration with industry experts bringing over 400 years of collective investigation experience, COMET combines innovation with practical application – helping organisations learn from every event and reduce future risk.
