Heinrich Safety Pyramid

The Heinrich Safety Pyramid illustrates the relationship between different types of workplace incidents. It shows that for every major accident, there are many more minor injuries and even more unsafe acts or conditions that don't result in injury. Typically, for each serious incident, there are about 30 minor injuries and 300 unsafe acts or conditions. This concept emphasizes the importance of addressing small issues and unsafe behaviors early to prevent larger, more serious accidents. By focusing on proactive safety measures at the lower levels of the pyramid, organizations can reduce the risk of severe incidents overall.
