Heinrich's Triangle

Heinrich's Triangle is a safety concept used to illustrate the relationship between different types of workplace incidents. It shows that for every major accident (the tip of the triangle), there are numerous smaller incidents and near misses below it. Specifically, for every serious injury, there can be many minor injuries and even more near misses. The triangle emphasizes that addressing minor incidents can prevent major accidents, promoting a proactive approach to safety. By focusing on improving safety practices at all levels, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of serious accidents.
