What is Heinrich's accident pyramid?
In 1931, H.W. Heinrich estimated that for every major workplace injury, about 29 minor injury accidents and 300 incidents that produce no injuries occur. This relationship, illustrated as a pyramid, demonstrates the importance of addressing near misses to prevent more serious accidents. Different versions of the pyramid have been created throughout the years. For more information, contact the Library with your fax number at library@nsc.org or (630) 775-2199.
