This study is grounded on the theories of accident causation, particularly the human factor model (ferrell, 1997). according to this model, accidents are caused by an individual's fault due to. Understanding accident causation is intrinsic to their successful prevention. to shed light on the accident phenomenon, over the years authors have developed a plethora of conceptual models. at first glance they seem as diverse and disparate as the accident problem they purport to help solve, yet closer scrutiny reveals there are some common.
Abstract many accident causation models theories have been dominating the human factors literature from a range of viewpoints and in a variety of different industrial contexts. however, many of the theories models have limited applica tions with respect to capturing the underlying accident causations in modern complex systems. Heinrich’s theory explains accidents using the analogy of dominoes falling over one another and creating a chain of events. although this theory is not the most advanced or complex theory, it is especially noteworthy as one of the first scientific theories used to explain accidents. One of the earliest accident causation models is the domino theory of accident models proposed by heinrich in the 1940s and implies the linear one by one progression of multiple chain of events (domino effect) leading to the accident and finally its consequence, e.g., an injury. Tion of workplace accidents. the theory of accident proneness stems from studies of accident fre quencies conducted by greenwood and others during the early 1900s. greenwood investigated accident rates in munition factories and other worksites and demonstrated, using statistical tests, that an abnormally high proportion of all accidents was.

This document discusses basic work accident causation theories. it defines a work accident and explains how accidents break down the work system. the objectives of accident prevention are to prevent injuries and deaths (humanitarian), and reduce costs from property damage, lost work time, replacement costs, etc (economic). accidents are caused by unsafe acts (90%) and unsafe conditions (10%. The document discusses several theories of accident causation: 1. heinrich's domino theory proposes that 88% of accidents are caused by unsafe acts, 10% by unsafe conditions, and 2% by acts of god. it suggests removing a factor in a five step sequence to prevent accidents. 2. multiple causation theory recognizes accidents rarely have a single cause, but multiple contributing behavioral and.
