• Injury from an accident is the result of a series of events that is dependent on each other.
• Injuries are caused by accidents
•  Accidents are caused by unsafe acts and unsafe condition.
•  Unsafe acts and unsafe condition are caused by the faults of person.
•  Faults of person are caused by a personal flaw such as violent temper, nervousness or  ignorance.

MULTI-CASUALITY ACCIDENT MODEL

• Refers to the facts that there may be more that one cause to any accident.
• Example: Someone who had tripping accident over a piece of wood lying on a floor in a dark walkway.

BIRS'S LOSS CAUSATION MODEL

( Main Presentators : Nazzab, Qasdina )

Group 3 has presented the last of the Accident Causation Theories which is the Bird's Loss Causation Model. Below are some of the notes regarding the topic :-

BIRD'S LOSS CAUSATION MODEL 

• Introduced by frank E. Bird ( 1970 )
• Revised Heinrich Domino.
• Blaming management

Lack of Management Control

 

     1. Management responsible for: 

• Selection of workers
• Machinery and equipment
• System of work
• Information and training 

     2. Supervision etc The accident prone worker is a false approach. It is like blaming the victim  instead of the perpetrator

CONCLUSION

ACCEPTED ACCIDENT THEORY

Multiple Causation Theory ✅

A single unsafe act or condition may or may 

not cause an accident but both are caused by 

lack of management control

Bird Loss Causation Model ❌

In line with Schewart (1930’s) theory of quality control

Heinrich’s theory is weak and negative ❌

Blaming victim and lack system thinking, continual improvements, upstream control and worker participation
