(2) : FOR EACH FACT, ASK THE FOLLOWING 3 QUESTIONS : A POSITIVE ANSWER TO THE 3rd QUESTION MEANS THAT ALL POSSIBLE ANTECEDENTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT It is strongly recommended to be creative at that stage, looking in particular for non-listed but plausible and widely admitted facts, e.g. the absence of any kind of safety barrier related to hardware or human awareness. « WHAT HAS BEEN REQUIRED ?… to get the incident » « WAS IT NECESSARY ?… to its occurrence » « WAS IT SUFFICIENT ?… aren’t there other antecedents ? »

CREATES AN AMBIANCE OF CONFIDENCE THE FOLLOW-UP PHASE IS FUNDEMENTAL : There is usually a large gap between the number of decided actions and the number of actual achievements. « Many safety initiatives fail because they never succeed in turning enthusiastic commitment into actions. » The rigorous implementation of the CTA method should allow to not exclusively depend on the personnel’s enthusiasm, but to get convincing result thanks to a clever and efficient management of the incidents.

35. EXERCISE 7 BUILD UP THE CAUSE TREE FOR THE FOLLOWING INCIDENT : FATAL CAR ACCIDENT On 23/3/94, at around 18h30, a fatal car accident occurred between RlO CULLEN and CANADON ALPHA (Argentina). In a road bend, the driver of the car - a NISSAN pick-up, apparently in good condition - lost control of the latter, meanwhile he was driving at a speed of about 80-100 km/h. The car overturned and rolled over several times. The driver has been ejected at about 5m away from the vehicle, and has been deeply injured. He died a few days later. The passenger has not been ejected, and suffered only light injuries. None of them had the safety belt fastened. The road was a stony track, narrow and dry. There was no wind nor rain, visibility was good. These two people were working for a local company, just contracted by TOTAL AUSTRAL for the construction of a guardroom at the Canadon Alpha plant entrance. The purpose of the trip to RlO CULLEN was to meet with TOTAL staff and to define the electrical hardware and set-up. TOTAL standard contractual terms clearly specifies as follows : The driving speed shall not exceed 60 km/h on non-asphalted roads, The use of the safety belt is compulsory. NB At the time of the accident, wearing of safety belts was not yet compulsory in Argentina.
