Flashcards

Preventative actions

Actions taken to prevent accidents before they happen. This includes: reducing the severity of the accident; avoiding the accident from happening; designing redundancy into systems; installing safety devices and warnings; developing safe procedures; requiring PPE.

Petersen's accident/incident theory

A theory focusing on the causes of accidents based on human behavior and factors, such as decision-making, system failures, and environmental traps.

Ergonomic traps

Workstations or equipment that are poorly designed and lead to potential hazards. This could be due to incorrect size, layout or lack of safety features.

Systems failure

The failure of a system intended to prevent accidents or mitigate human error. This can be due to inadequate design, maintenance, or training.

Common causes of accidents

Personal beliefs, decisions, or conditions that lead to unsafe behavior. This can include feeling invincible, ignoring rules, working while fatigued, or taking unnecessary risks.

Reactive approach to accident prevention

A series of steps taken to prevent accidents AFTER they occur. This includes investigating the accident, analyzing the results of the investigation, and implementing changes to prevent future accidents. The idea is to learn from mistakes.

Study Notes

Safety Management Systems

  • Safety is important for humanitarian, legal, and cost reasons
  • An accident is an unexpected event resulting in injury, loss, or damage
  • A hazard is a condition or set of circumstances potentially causing an incident, injury, illness, or loss
  • Direct costs are expenses directly related to an accident (medical, lost time)
  • Indirect costs are hidden costs associated with the accident (replacement workers, time lost)
  • ANSI Z10 is a voluntary consensus standard for occupational safety and health
  • Heinrich's Incident Theories propose a 4:1 ratio of direct-to-indirect costs
  • ANSI is the American National Standards Institute
  • AIHA is the American Industrial Hygiene Association
  • Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) is a cycle for improvement in safety systems
