Heinrich's Safety Pyramid

Heinrich's Safety Pyramid illustrates the relationship between different levels of workplace incidents. For every major accident, there are many minor injuries and even more unsafe acts or conditions. Specifically, it suggests that improving safety involves addressing the smaller, more frequent unsafe behaviors and minor incidents, which can prevent more serious accidents from happening. The pyramid emphasizes that proactive management of small hazards and unsafe acts is essential for reducing serious injuries, as these minor events are early indicators of potential larger incidents. Overall, focusing on small issues helps create a safer work environment.
