Heinrich Triangle

Heinrich's Triangle is a concept from safety science that illustrates how most workplace accidents are connected to minor incidents or near-misses. It shows that for every serious accident, there are many more minor injuries or unsafe acts that often go unnoticed. The idea is that by identifying and addressing small hazards early on, organizations can prevent more serious accidents from happening. The triangle visualizes this relationship, emphasizing the importance of safety practices at all levels to create a safer working environment.
