The way we work

While learning from accidents covers all aspects of the accident causation model, the real learning that will prevent similar events to happen again - possibly with a much greater impact - accumulates in the area of the management system, its work processes and related procedures, work methods, etc. It is there where the experience from accidents comes together to further improve the system - the organization's "memory" and the "way we work" - to prevent unwanted events and their consequences in the future: Learning From Accidents.

The picture below demonstrates how the Management System can be improved using accident data that can be fed into the items indicated resulting in safety improvement.
