Identify the Strong Link in Chain of Accident?
Prevention
of accident is in the core of all the safety programs run by the organisation. Safety
professionals throughout in their career devise and implement several activities
that move around Prevention the Accidents.
With ever increasing risk to human and concerns to conserve resources from
being degraded due to accident, challenges to professionals have increased many
folds. In this situation, without a scientific and strategically approach to
safety, the task is difficult and time consuming. Hence, the start point of any
accident prevention program is to begin with an understanding of the sequence
of ‘Accident Causation’. Efforts of
Safety Practitioners should focus on the factors which could contain the accidents
effectively. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the sequence in the
below diagram.
A program
that addresses the issue related to CAUSES would be more economical and
effective than running programs that is aimed to control the CONSEQUENCES.
Breaking any of the links of the chain of accident that results ultimately into
damage to life and property is important in the approach adopted to prevent it.
Happy
weekend reading.
