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)
