Heinrich's Accident Pyramid

Heinrich's Accident Pyramid illustrates how workplace accidents are related to underlying causes. It shows that for every major injury, there are many more minor incidents and near misses. Specifically, for every serious injury, there are about 29 minor injuries and 300 near misses. This suggests that small problems often precede larger accidents. By identifying and fixing hazards early, organizations can prevent serious injuries. The pyramid emphasizes the importance of proactive safety measures and reporting minor issues to improve overall safety and reduce the likelihood of serious accidents happening.
