Dear Ramesh,
People has already said "Good Words" about PPT, but I think there is some problem in my PC. I am not able to see the ppt now but I'll check it later. Still I would like to say few words about accident investigation that people maximum time search for a scapegoat instead of searching the root cause. And sometimes people gets confused between root cause & immediate cause (@Hansa nicely said by you). I would like to give one simple example of one LTI.
i.e. One labor got injured while he was using a damaged ladder.
Now report says that damaged ladder is the root cause of accident. But actually this is the immediate cause & we have to think a bit deeper. Please keep "Multi Causation Theory" in mind, while investigating the accidents. We have to ask following question in our mind,
1) Why did the labor use the damaged ladder?
2) Is it the lack of supervision?
3) Did we give proper training to labor?
4) When was the last inspection done?
5) If damaged ladder was identified in inspection, then why it was not tagged "Do not use" or sent for repair?
6) Did we give proper training of tagging to our workers?
There may be some other questions too.After getting the proper answers of above questions, we may come to know about the root cause.
It may be lack of "Supervision" or "Training" or any other cause but not the damaged ladder, which is an immediate cause.
