  Ask why? Use the categories below to get started. Keep asking why until you find the source of the incident. Equipment: Tractor; Trailer; Liftgate; Pallet jack; Hand truck; Other. Environment: Light; Dark; Wet; Heat; Cold weather or ice; Uneven ground; Indoors; Outside; Visibility (fog or shadows); Windy; Other. Employee: Are there written procedures for the task to be accomplished, if so, was the employee provided training? Is the employee physically capable of carrying out the tasks? Did the employee wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)? Is enough time allowed for workers to do their tasks correctly and safely so that they aren't tempted to take shortcuts? Management: Is management trained in hazard recognition? Did management anticipate the hazard and the risk? Was management aware that a deviation from safety procedures might occur and take steps to prevent it? Is management's role in hazard recognition and corrective action clearly defined and assigned? Root Cause (Source) of Incident: Ultimately, what conditions could have been changed to prevent the incident? [Description provided by NIOSH]
