Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Prepare for a causal analysis |
1.1 Appropriate background documentation is identified, obtained and assembled to collate all relevant facts and information that may guide and contribute to the causal analysis 1.2 Relevant personnel are identified and requested to provide input to the causal analysis 1.3 Other relevant sources of information regarding injury causation are identified and assembled 1.4 Methods and tools to be used in the analysis are identified, specified and prepared in accordance with organisational procedures and guidelines |
2. Identify the contributing factors involved in causing injury |
2.1 Relevant information sources are reviewed to determine contributing factors typically involved in causing injury 2.2 Activities are observed and/or reviewed 2.3 Interviews are conducted with relevant personnel 2.4 Contexts in which the activities are commonly conducted are reviewed 2.5 Components and aspects of activities which appear to be associated with greater risk of injury are analysed in detail 2.6 Data is recorded using organisational analytical tools in order to compile inputs to the analysis 2.7 Final list of contributing factors involved in injury causation is determined, validated and recorded by cross-referencing results from all causal analysis activities |
3. Undertake a root cause analysis |
3.1 Root causes of injury in the activity are determined through further analysis of the final list of contributing factors in the light of contextual information 3.2 List of root causes of injury is determined, validated and recorded |
4. Recommend countermeasures |
4.1 Effective countermeasures are identified where possible, for each root cause of injury, from available information and subject matter experts 4.2 Where no proven countermeasure can be identified, countermeasures are developed from first principles , in consultation with subject matter experts 4.3 Written and oral causal analysis report , including details of recommended countermeasures, is prepared in accordance with organisational policy and procedures and is delivered to decision-makers for consideration |
