An unintended event causing harm to people or property.

An observable unwanted event that can negatively impact people or processes.

Immediate and underlying conditions that lead to accidents.

Understanding how accidents happen to prevent similar occurrences.

Accidents consist of an event and its consequences, such as injury or damage.

Proper training is crucial to avoid accidents during hazardous tasks.

Gear worn to minimize exposure to hazards.

Financial and human costs associated with accidents, including injuries and damages.

Theory examining interactions among people, tools, environment, job, and organization to prevent accidents.

An inappropriate decision or action that negatively affects performance or safety; not due to chance.

Failures to perform an action that was intended or needed.

Failures resulting from acting inaccurately or improperly.

Mistakes made by performing tasks in the wrong order.

Mistakes made by executing actions at incorrect times or rates.

Overload, inappropriate responses, and activities affected by internal and external factors.

Theory extending Human Factors Theory focusing on causes of accidents and incidents.

A model identifying factors causing accidents, including ergonomic traps and decision errors.

Conditions in the workspace that lead to discomfort or inefficiency, increasing accident risk.

The choice made under pressure or misjudgment that leads to errors in tasks.

A concept stating that accidents result from interactions between people, machines, and environments.

A continuous cycle where the outcomes from decisions inform future actions and adjustments.

The idea that the cause of an accident may involve multiple contributing factors from different theories.

Factors that hinder judgment and worsen decision-making in potentially risky scenarios.

No single model can explain all accidents; multiple theories are needed.

Direct costs are visible like the tip of an iceberg; indirect costs are hidden and often greater.

Immediate costs of an accident that are easy to quantify, like medical expenses and insurance claims.

Hidden costs stemming from accidents, often significantly higher than direct costs, including lost productivity and training.

Frameworks that help identify and prevent accidents by analyzing causes.

A theory that illustrates how one event can trigger a chain of related accidents.

To provide a universal logical structure for analyzing accidents.

Helps in identifying potential dangers using a structured approach.

Ensures investigations are based on rational arguments and logical reasoning.

Traits inherited or learned that lead to unsafe acts or conditions.

Direct causes of accidents stemming from behaviors or environmental factors.

Incidents where no damage occurs but could have easily led to an accident.

A theory stating that accidents occur due to unsafe acts and conditions, which can be removed to prevent injuries.

Heinrich categorized accident causes: 88% due to unsafe acts, 10% unsafe conditions, 2% unpreventable.

Actions that increase the risk of accidents, such as bypassing safety devices or not wearing PPE.

Environmental factors contributing to accidents, including defective tools and poor ventilation.

An injury that results in an employee being unable to perform their regular work duties.

By removing unsafe acts or conditions, we can prevent accidents and injuries.

Examples include unauthorized SOP deviations, horseplay, and using defective equipment.
