## INTRODUCTION TO ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Determination of an accident's root cause allows organizations to discern the cause of a harmful event and prevent such events from recurring.
When an accident occurs in the workplace, the cause may initially appear obvious. For example, if a customer s... | [{"model_id": "numind/NuMarkdown-8B-Thinking", "model_name": "NuMarkdown-8B-Thinking", "column_name": "markdown", "timestamp": "2026-02-21T23:23:25.707895", "include_thinking": false, "temperature": 0.0, "max_tokens": 16384}] | |
## 2.4 Risk Assessment and Treatment
* A root cause must be expressed as something that can be modified. For example, weather conditions or an earthquake could not be considered root causes because such events are beyond human control. In the machine guard example, the root cause could conceivably be maintenance of ... | [{"model_id": "numind/NuMarkdown-8B-Thinking", "model_name": "NuMarkdown-8B-Thinking", "column_name": "markdown", "timestamp": "2026-02-21T23:23:25.707895", "include_thinking": false, "temperature": 0.0, "max_tokens": 16384}] | |

## 2.6 Risk Assessment and Treatment
The first step in the RCA process is data collection. Root causes associated with an event cannot be identified without complete information about the surrounding circumstances, facts, and causes.
The second step in the process is **causal factors** charting.
