Over 12,000 exclusive unsafe acts/conditions and accident/injuries photos and over 1,000 PPT s documents from more than 2,782 contributors [16]. 

The website describes itself as The Network for Safety Professionals Around the World I declare it a treasure chest of superb information. In January 2015, the website exclaimed Over 12,000 exclusive unsafe acts/conditions and accident/injuries photos and over 1,000 PPT s documents from more than 2,782 contributors [10]... 

Heinrich advocated a multidisciplinary approach to safety, focused on engineering, psychology, management, and salesmanship. The emphasis on psychology supported his theory that the majority of accidents were caused primarily by the unsafe acts or behavior of employees— the axiom on which his prevention philosophy was based. This axiom was central to Heinrich s domino model of accident causation, which depicted five dominos lined up in a sequence. As we discussed in Chapter 12 (Figures 12-7 and 12-8), unsafe acts/conditions were placed in the central position, preceded by inherited or acquired personal faults, and followed by an inci-... 

Any person becoming aware of any unsafe act, condition or faulty piece of equipment which they cannot put right themselves, must where possible warn others, isolate the hazard and immediately inform the person in charge. Where necessary work should be stopped and if appropriate the area evacuated. 

At our company, we are committed to the implementation and maintenance of a near miss reporting/rectification system so that everyone can identify and report near misses, unsafe acts/conditions, rank the potential, and prescribe corrective action to reduce risk. By getting to the near miss incidents, potential losses can be prevented before rather than after the event. 

The TSE model of causation that accidents are primarily due to individually controllable unsafe acts is unlikely to be modified over time. This is because very little evidence on the background and conditions which led up to an accident will be collected. The data collection strategy is therefore likely to remain static, since the data collected wiU, by definition, not contradict the underlying assumptions. 

Some investigators review each of the causal factors to determine the immediate causes (unsafe acts or rmsafe conditions) of the incident, as an... 

An acddent happens only due to unsafe conditions or unsafe acts or both. 

Unsafe acts or unsafe conditions exist only because of human faults. 

Management can remove unsafe conditions and can control the actions of employees thereby preventing unsafe acts which ultimately leads to the prevention of accidents. 

Examining unsafe acts and conditions, accident investigation, personnel factors, defective safety controls, and supervisors responsibilities. 

Unreported problems can result in major accidents and serious injuries. Explains the Heinrich Triangle relating number of expected injuries from 330 incidents and percent of accidents resuiting from unsafe acts and conditions. 

According to the modem accident-causation (G. and B. et al., 2005), from the point of individual behavior-safety control, hazard is embodied unsafe act (behavior) and unsafe condition meanwhile, under certain situation, unsafe act (behavior) can transform and result in unsafe condition. The unsafe act and unsafe condition is the direct cause of accident, deeper analysis comes to the indirect (common) cause, which include three elements inadequate safety knowledge, inadequate safety awareness, and inadequate safety habit. 

The above data shows that accidents are mainly caused by the unsafe acts of people. Meanwhile, other factors related to objects, such as machinery and equipment are designed, manufactured, maintenance and operated by people, and environmental conditions can be also created and improved by people (Hu Zhou 2001). Therefore, we can control most accidents as long as we control people s behavior (Fu et al. 2005), and zero accident can be achieved. 

Accidents are mainly caused by the unsafe acts of people and people can create and improve environmental conditions. Controlling of human behavior could control most of the accidents, zero accidents can be achieved. 

Superficially, gas accumulation is an unsafe condition and formed by a period of time. But a large number of accidents showed that in the production process of underground coalmine, except the gas explosions which are explode in the gob, gas accumulation in other workplace is usually caused by people s unsafe act.

Talk with the employee performing the unsafe act or complete a work order for repair of unsafe conditions. 

The instructor should place Overhead 2 on the overhead projector and explain that all accidents are caused by unsafe acts and unsafe conditions. The instructor should ask the group to provide examples of unsafe acts and unsafe conditions in their work areas.
