results to loss
ACCIDENTS
Includes near misses and
accidents. Near misses does not result in any
loss.
INCIDENTS
_______ is the art and science that seeks to understand the deeper roots of why accidents happen)
Accident Causation Theory
ENUMERATE 6 THEORIES OF ACCIDENTS
- Domino Theory
- Human Factors Theor
- Accident-Incident Causation Theory
- Epidemiological Theory
- Systems Theory
- Psychological / Behavioral Theory
DHA
ESP
WHAT THEORY? and WHO DEVELOP
-The factors can be visualized as a series of dominoes standing on edge; when one falls, the linkage required for a chain reaction is completed.
* Each of the factors is dependent on the preceding factor thus the removal of any
one of these five factors can prevent the accident
Domino Theory by Heinrich
According to Heinrich, an “_____” is one factor in a sequence that may lead to an injury
accident
WHAT THEORY? and WHO DEVELOP
Heinrich posed his model in terms of a single domino leading to an accident.
The premise here is that human errors cause accidents.
Human factors developed by Ferrell
3 error of human factors theory
- Overload
- INAPPROPRIATE WORKER RESPONSE
- INAPPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES
WHAT THEORY? and WHO DEVELOP
states that causes of accident/incident are human error and/or system failure.
Accident - Incident Causation Theory
by Peterson
WHAT THEORY? and WHO DEVELOP
stated epidemiological definition of accident as
“An unexpected, unavoidable, unintentional act resulting from the interaction of host (accident victim), agent (injury deliverer) and environmental factors within situations which involve risk taking and perception of danger
Epidemiological Theory
by Suchman
WHAT THEORY? and WHO DEVELOP
regards an accident as a
low-quality work behavior
Psychological/Behavioral Accident Causation Theory:
Goal Freedom Alertness Theory
by Dr. Willard Kerr’s
_____ can only be obtained within a positive organizational culture
and psychological climate.
alertness
True or false
The more negative the workplace climate, the
greater the alertness and work quality is. As alertness decreases, the probability of an accident rises
False
the more POSITIVE
WHAT THEORY?
Accidents arise from interactions among humans, machines, and the
environment. Not simply chains of events of linear causality but more complex
types of causal connections
Systems Theory of Causation
Two key components of Epidemiological Theory
– Predisposition characteristics
– Situational characteristics
tendencies, susceptibility, and perceptions may
predispose worker to certain actions
Predisposition characteristics
peer pressure, attitude, risk assessment by individuals,
priority of the supervisor, etc
