Abstract:
Modern business conditions require a high level of security in operating systems, that is, risk assessment and avoidance of unexpected events. The consequences of unexpected events are often manifested as worker’s injuries, termination of the technological process and/or damage to material and natural resources. In order to act preventively so the level of safety could be raised, risks at work reduced and worker protected from injury, damage and health disorders, it is necessary to know the causes of accidents at work. This paper presents the application of Ishikawa method for the identification of all causes of occupational accidents that can lead to negative consequences and for the selection of the basic cause where corrective action is focused. Also, the new paradigm is shown referred to as Zero Accident Vision - ZAV whose implementation in business systems is to achieve safer conditions and a higher level of protection at work.
