Theories that explain the causes of accidents to improve prevention.

An incident where no actual damage occurs but could have led to an accident.

To classify, identify hazards, and aid in accident investigations.

A theory suggesting accidents result from a sequence influenced by social factors.

The surrounding cultural and societal influences that affect individual behavior.

Actions or behaviors that increase the risk of an accident.

The process of recognizing potential hazards that could lead to accidents.

A systematic approach to analyzing incidents to prevent future occurrences.

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

An undesirable human decision or action reducing safety or effectiveness.

Categorized errors: omission, commission, sequence, and timing errors that lead to mistakes.

Failure to perform a necessary action or task, leading to potential risk.

Improperly executing an action that should have been done, resulting in mistakes.

External influences like noise and distractions that can cause human error.

Personal problems and emotional stresses that influence human performance and decisions.

Theory extending Human Factors Theory to analyze the causes of accidents and incidents.

An unintended event causing harm to people, property, or processes.

An observable human activity that is an unwanted event with negative impacts.

The financial and other impacts resulting from accidents, including injuries and damages.

The specific occurrence that leads to an accident; if it doesn't happen, there is no accident.

The final outcomes that result from an event, such as injury or material damage.

Understanding the reasons for accidents is crucial for prevention strategies.

Underlying factors and situations that contribute to an accident occurring.

Common injuries from accidents include lacerations and fractures.

The theory suggests accidents stem from unsafe acts and conditions.

Environmental factors that pose risks, such as defective tools or equipment.

Out of 75,000 accidents: 88% from unsafe acts, 10% unsafe conditions.

In Heinrich's findings, 29 out of 330 incidents lead to minor injuries; 1 leads to lost-time injury (LTI).

Conditions or actions that lead to injuries before the actual accident occurs.

A framework illustrating that direct costs are visible, while indirect costs are often hidden and significant.

Immediate and quantifiable expenses from an accident, such as medical bills and insurance claims.

Hidden costs from an accident that are harder to quantify, often outweighing direct costs.

Direct costs include medical expenses and lost wages; indirect costs include training and administrative issues.

Workstation designs that cause discomfort and hinder performance.

Unintentional choices leading to mistakes, like misjudging risks.

Accidents result from interactions between person, machine, and environment.

Accident causation may involve elements from various theories.

The cycle of information collection and decision making affecting safety.

Elements that impair judgment when making decisions.

Management decisions influence accident prevention and risk management.

Elements like overload, fatigue, or drugs that contribute to accidents.
