YOUR INSTRUCTOR
COURSE OBJECTIVES This Course Is Designed to Introduce Basic Skills in Accident Investigation. Root cause analysis and statistical evaluation of accidents can be very complex. This course is designed for the majority of cases that can be diagnosed rapidly and where outside assistance is not normally required. NOTE
Accident Prevention. Introduce Accident Investigation & Establish Its Role in Todays Industry. Introduce Some Basic Skills in the Recognition & Control of Occupational Hazards. Provide Basic Accident Investigation Skills for Supervisors. Introduce Accident Investigation Techniques. COURSE OBJECTIVES (Continued)
BASIS FOR THIS COURSE Statistically, accident investigation results in prevention Elimination of workplace injuries & illnesses where possible Reduction of workplace injuries & illnesses where possible Development of efficient accident investigative procedures OSHA Safety Standards require: Accidents be investigated Training be conducted Hazards and precautions be explained A Safety program be established Job Hazards be assessed and controlled
REGULATORY STANDARD THE GENERAL DUTY CLAUSE FEDERAL - 29 CFR 1903.1 EMPLOYERS MUST: Furnish a place of employment free of recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. Employers must comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under the Williams- Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. OSHA ACT OF 1970

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION IS IMPORTANT Improve quality. Improve absenteeism. Maintain a healthier work force. Reduce injury and illness rates. Acceptance of high-turnover jobs. Workers feel good about their work. Reduce workers compensation costs. Elevate SAFETY to a higher level of awareness. A GOOD PROGRAM WILL HELP: SAFETY STATISTICS
It is estimated that in the United States, 97% of the money spent for medical care is directed toward treatment of an illness, injury or disability. Only 3% is spent on prevention.

ACCIDENT CAUSATION Domino Theory. Multiple Causation Theory.
ACCIDENT CAUSATION The occurrence of an injury invariably results from a completed sequence of factors, the last one of these being the injury itself. The accident which caused the injury is in turn invariably caused or permitted directly by the unsafe act of a person and/or a mechanical or physical hazard. Domino Theory.
The unsafe act: Climbing a defective ladder. The unsafe condition: A defective ladder. The corrective action 1: Replace the ladder. The corrective action 2: Forbid use of ladder. ACCIDENT CAUSATION Domino Theory. (One act or condition)
ACCIDENT CAUSATION Factors combined in random fashion to cause accidents. Multiple Causation Theory.
Was he or she properly trained? Was he or she reminded not to use it? Did the employee know not to use it? Why did the supervisor allow its use? Did the supervisor examine the job first? Why was the defective ladder not found? ACCIDENT CAUSATION Multiple Causation Theory. (Contributing factors)
Horseplay. Defeating safety devices. Failure to secure or warn. Operating without authority. Working on moving equipment. Taking an unsafe position or posture. Operating or working at an unsafe speed. Unsafe loading, placing, mixing, combining. Failure to use personal protective equipment. ACCIDENT CAUSATION Unsafe Acts
Improper PPE. Improper tools. Improper guarding. Poor housekeeping. Improper ventilation. Defective equipment. Improper illumination. Unsafe dress or apparel. Hazardous arrangement. ACCIDENT CAUSATION Unsafe Conditions (Environmental)
Fatigue. Unclassified Improper attitude. Defective hearing. Defective eyesight. Muscular weakness. Lack of required skill. Intoxication (alcohol, drugs). Lack of required knowledge ACCIDENT CAUSATION Unsafe Personal Factors
Improper attitude. Lack of knowledge or skill. Physical or mental impairment ACCIDENT CAUSATION Behavioristic Causes
Slip, Trip. Struck by. Overexertion. Struck against. Fall on same level. Fall to different level. Caught in, on, or between. Contact with - heat or cold. Contact with - electric current. Inhalation, absorption, ingestion, poisoning. ACCIDENT CAUSATION Types of Accidents
Accident type. Nature of injury. Source of the injury. Location of accident. Hazardous condition. Affected part of body. ACCIDENT CAUSATION Key Facts
ACCIDENT CAUSATION Assessing the Facts Nationality. Language. Occupation. Gender. Department. Name of supervisor. Years employed. Length of time on job. Responsibility. Age. Type of accident. Environmental cause. Unsafe act. Behavioristic cause. Cost. Time lost.

THE GREATEST DEFICIENCY IN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION IS LACK OF COMPETENT FOLLOW-UP! FOLLOW-UP
INCIDENCE RATES INCIDENCE RATE CALCULATION: Incidence rates can be calculated by counting the incidences and reporting the recordable injuries per 100 full time workers per year per facility. (NUMBER OF NEW CASES X 200,000*) NUMBER OF HOURS WORKED/FACILITY/YEAR * 200,000 = Approximate annual work hours for 100 workers per facility. * The same method can be applied to departments production lines, or job types with each facility.
JOB DESIGN GOOD JOB DESIGN REDUCES Discomfort, Fatigue, Aches & Pains Injuries & Illnesses, Work Restrictions AVOIDS Absenteeism, Turnover, Complaints, Poor Performance, Poor Vigilance ABATES Accidents, Production Problems, Poor Quality, Scrap/Rework
Continued GOOD JOB DESIGN PREVENTS Economic Loss, Loss in Earning Power, Loss in Quality of Life, Pain & Suffering PREVENTS Economic Loss, Loss in Expertise, Compensation Costs, Damaged Goods & Equipment EMPLOYEE: EMPLOYER: JOB DESIGN
REMEMBER, YOU CONTROL YOUR FACILITY OR AREA! REVIEW THEIR PROCEDURES WITH THEM BEFORE STARTING THE JOB! DETERMINE THEIR SAFETY PERFORMANCE RECORD! DETERMINE WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THEIR PEOPLE! DETERMINE HOW THEY WILL AFFECT YOUR EMPLOYEES! TIPS FOR USING CONTRACTORS
OSHA'S PERCEPTION OF A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM 1. DETAILED WRITTEN REPORTS. 2. DETAILED WRITTEN PROCEDURES 3. EXTENSIVE EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAMS 4. PERIODIC REINFORCEMENT OF TRAINING 5. DISCIPLINED PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION 6. FOLLOW-UP
WORK AT WORKING SAFELY Training is the key to success in managing safety in the work environment. Attitude is also a key factor in maintaining a safe workplace. Safety is, and always will be a team effort, safety starts with each individual employee and concludes with everyone leaving at the end of the day to rejoin their families. Patricia A.
