Theories of Accident Causation
The document discusses two incidents at different companies - a utility company and a municipal wastewater plant. Both incidents occurred despite the companies having lower than average injury rates.
The first incident was an arc flash that occurred during maintenance on high voltage equipment at a utility company. A switching procedure was violated which led to workers being exposed to live high voltage.
The second incident was an explosion at a wastewater plant during roof removal work above a methanol storage tank. The flame arrestor on the tank was corroded and inoperative. There were no work procedures or hazard training for the job.
Both incidents were caused by failures in procedures, equipment, training, and safety programs. Contributing factors included lack of

Workplace Health & Safety
The Workplace Health and Safety Act aims to protect workers through promoting safety awareness. It outlines mandatory requirements for employers and employees. Regular inspections identify hazards, which must be addressed. Managers must ensure inspections occur and issues are resolved. Workplace hazards can arise from substances, equipment, conditions, processes and practices. Any accidents or incidents must be reported within 24 hours to allow investigation and prevention of future issues.
Theories of accident causation
The document discusses several theories of accident causation that attempt to explain why accidents occur, including:
- Domino Theory: Accidents result from a series of factors including unsafe acts and conditions. Most are due to unsafe behaviors.
- Human Factors Theory: Accidents are caused by human error factors like inappropriate activities, overload, and inappropriate responses.
- Accident/Incident Theory: Builds on human factors theory, adding elements like ergonomic traps and systems failure.
- Epidemiological Theory: Looks at causal relationships between environmental factors and accidents, like predisposed characteristics, susceptibility, and situational characteristics.
10 Principles Every OHS Representative Should Know
The document outlines 10 principles that every occupational health and safety (OHS) representative should know. The principles are: always follow protocols, elicit visible and active commitment from management, educate and engage the workforce, prevention is better than reaction, know how to respond to injuries, ensure appropriate safety gear is worn, create and use checklists, follow waste management plans, be aware of issues like HIV/AIDS, and report incidents correctly and completely. It concludes by advertising OHS training courses from Oxbridge Academy.
Causes of accidents
Accidents occur due to a combination of unsafe acts and unsafe conditions. Unsafe acts include not following safety procedures, taking shortcuts, or being distracted. Unsafe conditions involve poor housekeeping, lack of guards on equipment, or other environmental hazards. A series of factors such as personal limitations, job stresses, lack of training, and poor supervision can contribute to unsafe behaviors and conditions that lead to accidents. Maintaining good housekeeping, following all safety rules, and focusing on the task are important for preventing accidents in the workplace.
Reducing and minimizing workplace injuries
Workplace safety is important for small businesses to reduce costs from injuries. By following safety protocols and identifying risks, businesses can make the workplace safer for employees. Musculoskeletal disorders from work can decrease employees' ability to care for their families outside of work. Proper reporting and documentation of workplace injuries is required for employees to receive workers' compensation benefits to cover medical costs. Employers must outline any restrictions to ensure employees understand their rights.
