Accidents are unplanned and unintentional events that result in harm or loss to personnel, property, product or nearly anything that has some inherent value. Accident are rarely simple and almost never result from single cause. Most accidents involve multiple, interrelated causal factors. Accidents can occur whenever significant deficiencies, oversights, errors, omissions, or unanticipated changes are present. Any one of these conditions can be a precursor for an accident; the only uncertainties are when the accident will occur and how severe its consequences will be.
To conduct a complete accident/incident investigation, the factors contributing to an accident, as well as means to prevent accidents, must be clearly understood. Management prevents or mitigates accidents identifying and implementing the appropriate controls and barriers. Accidents occur when one or more barrier of a work system, including procedures, standards, and requirements intended to control the actions of workers, fail to perform as intended. The barriers may not exist, may not be adhered to, or simply may not be comprehensive enough to be effective. Personal performance and environmental factors may also reduce protection.
Understanding how to prevent or control accidents requires an understanding of the sequence of events leading to an accident in order to identify and implement countermeasures that contain risks.
