Dear Ramesh,
Thank you for sharing this wonderful and informative PowerPoint presentation. Often, we tend to engage in a blame game when accidents occur instead of identifying the root cause and addressing it. Many times, the immediate causes are confused with the underlying reasons.
Keep on sharing...

Dear Ramesh,
People have already said "Good Words" about PPT, but I think there is some problem with my PC. I am not able to see the PPT now, but I'll check it later. Still, I would like to say a few words about accident investigation; that people, most of the time, search for a scapegoat instead of searching for the root cause. Sometimes, people get confused between the root cause and the immediate cause (nicely said by you, Hansa). I would like to give one simple example of one LTI.
For instance, one laborer got injured while using a damaged ladder.
The report states that the damaged ladder is the root cause of the accident. However, this is actually the immediate cause, and we need to delve a bit deeper. Please keep the "Multi-Causation Theory" in mind while investigating accidents. We have to ask the following questions in our minds:
1) Why did the laborer use the damaged ladder?
2) Is it due to a lack of supervision?
3) Did we provide proper training for the laborer?
4) When was the last inspection conducted?
5) If the damaged ladder was identified during inspection, why was it not tagged as "Do not use" or sent for repair?
6) Have we provided proper training on tagging for our workers?
There may be some other questions as well. After obtaining proper answers to the above questions, we may uncover the root cause.
It could be a lack of supervision, training, or any other cause, but not the damaged ladder, which is an immediate cause.

Dear Inderjeet,
Root cause analysis is very crucial to find out the reasons and fix the causes so that CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Action) may be established. Further required training on the subject must be provided to all the employees working in the workplaces.
Lack of supervision on the part of the concerned HODs leads to casualness among the workers, who can ignore the safety rules and become victims of accidents. However, efforts are required from all the HODs and the employees to avoid accidents. Sometimes, we have to take strict disciplinary actions against the defaulters or those who ignore the safety rules.
Thank you again, Inderjeet, for contributing to the subject matter.

Dear All,
Good discussion on this thread so far. All things considered, it is important to find the real cause. We can conduct a "why-why" analysis to delve deeper. Typically, the true root cause can be identified with the fifth "why." Please note that corrective changes should align with the root cause.
