The Swiss cheese model of accident causation is a model used in risk analysis and risk management. It likens human systems to multiple slices of Swiss cheese , which has randomly placed and sized holes in each slice, stacked side by side, in which the risk of a threat becoming a reality is mitigated by the differing layers and types of defenses ...
Domino effect accidents are an important process safety issue affecting process plants where significant amounts of hazardous materials are stored, transported, and processed. Losses of containment that result in fires or explosions can escalate to nearby equipment, due to thermal radiation, blast overpressure or other mechanisms, thus ...
A domino effect is the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a series of similar [1] or related events, a form of chain reaction. The term is an analogy to a falling row of dominoes . It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively short.
Many models to characterize and analyze accidents have been proposed, [10] which can be classified by type. No single model is the sole correct approach. [11] Notable types and models include: [12] Sequential models Domino theory [9] Loss causation model [13] Complex linear models Energy damage model [14] [full citation needed] Time sequence models

3. Although psychology has a place in safety management, the emphasis Heinrich gave to it as being "a fundamental of great importance in accident causation" was disproportionate, and that overemphasis influenced his work considerably. 4.
Years earlier, Brown had suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. His short-term memory was shot, and he crumbled at the slightest sign of stress. But if he didn’t participate in the program and endure the terrors and public humiliations, he would have to serve all of his time.
Tripod Beta is an incident and accident analysis methodology made available by the Stichting Tripod Foundation [1] via the Energy Institute.The methodology is designed to help an accident investigator analyse the causes of an incident or accident in conjunction with conducting the investigation.
