These theories help in understanding the multifaceted nature of work accidents and offer a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and preventing workplace hazards (decamp & herskovitz. Accident, occurrence, incident, critical incident, mishap, defence s, failure, causation, safety note from the body of knowledge technical panel and the authors of this chapter: the development of theories and modeling of accident causation is a dynamic field with the result that there is often a gap between the theoretical discussion and practice.
Abstract. in this paper, a comprehensive review of the concepts of occupational injury and accident causation and prevention is presented. starting with hazard identification, the issues on risk assessment, accident causation, and intervention strategies are discussed progressively. the distinctiveness and overlaps in accident and injury. Nat and hro theories provide different explanations of safety and accident causation in complex organizations and offer alternative strategies for safety and risk management. re is emerging as a new paradigm in safety management, where ‘success’ is based on the ability of organizations, groups, and individuals to anticipate the changing shape of risk before failures and harm occur [ 26 ]. However, the concept of accident proneness remains subject of much controversy, debate, and conceptual confusion (mckenna, 1983).if an accident is attributed to a person, and not to the workplace, management deficiencies, etc., this is contrary to the development of preventive occupational health and safety principles and practices (sass and crook, 1981; green, 1991). This paper proposes a human factors model of workplace accident causation. particular attention is given to merging traditional human factors considerations with those related to self protective be.

The work conducted in this study is summarised as follows: (i) the role and origin of accident causation models are introduced. (ii) a new method for classifying accident causation models is proposed. 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.
