served solely lor engineers, rather, we do mean that people engaged in safety work most be able ro analyze, to judge; and to
Mr. Ward, will you discuss this matter of analysis?
Mb Wabd: Often, accidents seem to stem from uncontrollable factors, and the appar ent Giae is that the arridrm was due to a hazard inherent to that peculiar job or oc cupation.
Now, in safely work, such identification is not sufficient. Since we are interested in the dizninatios of unsafe acts and unsafe conditions, we must go further. We must seek out the real cause of the accident This can best be done by the application of logic
We must take what we have lamed of the real cause and set up our objective--the correction of the iactors which caused the
accident Accident investigation has no value, whatsoever, if it does not succeed in
denkjang a safer method of doing the job on which the accident occurred.
Thus, we have completed three points in
our accident analysis program. We have
looked at the apparent cause; we have searched out the real cause; and we have established, and set up our objective. But the full accident analysis, as we see it is made up of four points. We must estab lish responsibility; not necessarily responsi bility for the accident that has already hap pened, but rather, responsibility for the correction oi the condition? that caused the accident. We've all heard the old proverb, "Something that is everybody's responsibil ity is nobody's responsibility." It never had
a better application than h has in accident prevention.
