For years, Safety Professionals have followed and taught the Heinrich Accident Triangle, which was published in 1931. The belief was that focusing activities on the prevention of all unsafe behaviors would effectively prevent Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF’s) from occurring. The problem is that the Heinrich Theory did not always work. Over the past few years, an updated theory has been introduced and seems to be more effective at the prevention of SIF’s. Mike and Bob will discuss how a mid-sized paper company realized that the Heinrich Theory was not providing the guidance that the company needed in a high-risk industry like pulp and paper. It was not until the company began applying a revolutionary approach that focused on the identification and elimination of activities with High SIF Potential, that significant progress was made in reducing the severity of injuries.
