Learning From Accidents

Welcome to "Learning From Accidents".

Purpose of this website is twofold:

1. to introduce web-based SafetyPort software to help you to learn from accidents and incidents to assist safety improvement in your organization.
2. to serve a starting place for those looking for information related to accidents, incidents and other unwanted or "unplanned" events. 

N.B. Most of the time, when referring to "accidents", I mean all unwanted events and their actual or potential direct or indirect consequences to include:

• Accidents - injuries, material damage, environmental damage
• Incidents, near-misses or close-calls
• Quality problems
• Any events that you may consider "unwanted", "undesired" of "unplanned" 

This website provides suggestions on how to set up a system to allow learning from accidents / incidents (and other undesired events).

If you want to learn from events (accidents/incidents), you need at least:

• have events reported
• have sufficient information about the event(s) that you wish to learn from
• know the causes that have led to those event(s) so you can take actions to prevent recurrence
• you need to know what to do to allow learning from unwanted events, on an individual level and - more important - on an organizational level.

RMS-Incident can be very helpful to improve the safety performance of your organization allowing you to:

• obtain, register and store relevant factual information  
• carry out cause analysis including root causes
• prepare individual reports to management or other parties
• retrieve information from database to identify common causes and establish trends 
• prepare monthly and annual reports to management

RMS-Incident is a web-based accident and incident investigation software program that can help you to:

• reduce human suffering 
• reduce cost of operation to allow for optimum profit results on an ongoing basis.

RMS-Incident is based on the Frank Bird causation or "domino model".
