    Study Notes

    Models of Incident Causation

    • The model that emphasizes unsafe acts as a product of organizational culture, supervision, and contextual factors is not specified in the text.
    • The model that combines a fault tree with an event tree, listing potential hazards and control measures is not specified in the text.

    Models and Their Developers

    • The Heinrich model was developed by HW. Heinrich.
    • The model developed by J. Reason focuses on failures at multiple levels resulting in an incident.

    Incident Investigation

    • A benefit of incident investigation is identifying factors to 'plug the holes' in the Swiss cheese model.
    • A critical factor in the investigative process is the collection of information.
    • Types of information collected in incident investigations include:
      • Human factors: information related to human actions, behaviors, and decision-making.
      • Environmental factors: information related to the physical environment, equipment, and materials.
      • Situational factors: information related to the context and circumstances surrounding the incident.
    • Benefits of incident investigation include cost savings, increased safety awareness, and improved incident prevention.
    • A legal requirement related to incident reporting is specified in the text, but the specific requirement is not stated.

    Models of Incident Causation (continued)

    • The model that emphasizes injuries and incidents resulting from a chain of actions and situational characteristics is not specified in the text.
    • The model that focuses on identifying factors to 'plug the holes' in the Swiss cheese is the Swiss cheese model.
    • The developer of the model that emphasizes every incident results from a series of events is not specified in the text.
