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.

Editor's Notes
- This is also true with hand tools. In the pictures above you will see two types of scissors. The first pair is a typical pair of manual scissors that rely on people to open and close them. These are still used throughout the poultry industry. The pair on the right is a pair of pneumatic powered scissors. This pair uses air power to close and open the blades of the scissors. With a tool like this one the force is lower and consistent no matter how difficult the part is to cut.
