In this study, Safe T-Score method is used to analyze the accident rate by measuring the level of frequency. Analysis is continued using risk management methods which identify hazards, risk measurement and risk management.

The Iceberg Principle or Iceberg Theory is a theory that suggests that we cannot see or detect most of a situation’s data. The theory, which we also call the ‘Theory of Omission’ or ‘Iceberg Model,’ applies to systems and problems too.

One such theory became known as Heinrich’s Law: that in a workplace, for every accident that causes a major injury, there are 29 accidents that cause minor injuries and 300 accidents that cause no injuries.

It is easy to see the Direct Costs of an injury which can be directly attributed to the injury; including medical treatment, medicine, therapy, and workers compensation. Indirect Costs are unbudgeted expenses that a company has to endure unexpectedly.

Direct, or insured costs for accidents are usually considered those costs covered by workers compensation insurance and other minor medical costs for the accident. The company pays insurance to cover these costs. Of course, the more accidents, the higher the insurance.

Examples of direct costs are direct labor, direct materials, commissions, piece rate wages, and manufacturing supplies. Examples of indirect costs are production supervision salaries, quality control costs, insurance, and depreciation.

Cause factors can be grouped into the following categories:

• human factors/personnel error.
• malfunction or failure of aircraft structures, engines, or other systems.
• deficient maintenance.
• hazardous environment involving weather, volcanic ash, birds, etc.
• air traffic management errors.
• any combination of the above.

Call your local police department and ask if someone has filed charges against you. Again, they don’t have to inform you if you are currently being investigated. If there’s a police report, you may request a copy.
