Dear Sir,
Thanks and happy to see more participants to join in this discussion on Safety & health.
One important aspect of safety is to prevent accidents. For this if we take the Nature's advise, we can surely prevent accidents.
Accidents never comes all of sudden.
As per the Heinrich theory it precede incidents and near Misses.
But there is no mechanism in organization to collect the details of Near Miss and Incidents.
If this is possible and if we investigate the root cause analysis as we do in accident investigation, and take remedial measures then the accident will not occur.
I have myself analyzed the incidents from the occupational heath center registers, proved the theory of Heinrich which says that for every 29 incidents one accident happens.
The analysis proved that for every 27 to 29 incidents reported , there is one accident.
So let us give more important to incidents and near miss so that hte cost of accidents can be reduced.
