Root Cause Analysis and Accident Investigation

Editor's Notes

  • #13 Let’s discuss a little accident theory and then we’ll move onto what to do about it.
  • #15 We form organizations to get work done. As the work we want to do gets larger and more complex, so do our organizations. As these organizations grow, we develop various systems to manage our organizations. Since we as humans regularly make mistakes, often our systems fail due to mistakes in process or system design flaws. Root Cause Analysis is a process of continuous improvement, it is used to find faults with our systems and make them better in the future. It is used whenever there is a gap between actual and desired performance. If you want your problems to go away, your best option is to kill them at the root. Hence the root cause analysis!
  • #23 Paper evidence includes trends from the past, training rosters, incident investigation forms and even our minutes.
  • #24 Finally you gather people evidence by interviewing the people involved, and looking for what motivated them to behave the way they did.
