“…The priority of Tripod-Beta was higher than that of FTA in most of studied criteria, however, considering the criteria priority values and their corresponding weights, FTA was found to be superior to Tripod-Beta. Some other studies have been carried out to compare different accident analysis techniques (18,20). The present study has two major advantages over previous reports.…”

“…However, one should keep in mind that there is no single comprehensive technique for identifying all accident causes. Furthermore, care should be taken when selecting accident analysis techniques since the techniques should be able to provide sufficient and appropriate inputs required for deciding on corrective actions (20). Otherwise, selecting an inappropriate technique may lead to misled results and thus wasting time and money.…”

Background: Accident investigation programs are a necessary part in identification of risks and management of the business process. Objectives: One of the most important features of such programs is the analysis technique for identifying the root causes of accidents in order to prevent their recurrences. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to compare management oversight and risk tree (MORT) with Tripod-Beta in order to determine the superior technique for analysis of fatal excavation accidents in construction industries. Materials and Methods: MORT and Tripod-Beta techniques were used for analyzing two major accidents with three main steps. First, these techniques were applied to find out the causal factors of the accidents. Second, a number of criteria were developed for the comparison of the techniques and third, using AHP, the techniques were prioritized in terms of the criteria for choosing the superior one. Results: The Tripod-Beta investigation showed 41 preconditions and 81 latent causes involved in the accidents. Additionally, 27 root causes of accidents were identified by the MORT analysis. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) investigation revealed that MORT had higher priorities only in two criteria than Tripod-Beta. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that Tripod-Beta with a total priority of 0.664 is superior to MORT with the total priority of 0.33. It is recommended for future research to compare the available accident analysis techniques based on proper criteria to select the best for accident analysis.

“…Step 3: The weighted normalized decision matrix The weighted normalized decision matrix (v%) can be computed by multiplying the weights of criteria and the values in the normalized fuzzy decision matrix: (9) v% = [v%ij] m×n , i = 1, 2, .., m; j = 1, 2, . .…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to select accident analysis methods based on specified organizational criteria. Due to strengths and weakness of accident analysis methods (1,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10), it may be necessary to select more than one method for particular individual or organizational criteria (11)(12)(13). The oil industry includes a wide variety of processes, including petrochemical, gas, refinery, drilling, exploration, and construction, thus, various types of contractors look at accident analysis from different points of view.…”

Background: Selecting the appropriate method for analysis of accidents is an important phase in accident investigation, due to the varieties of factors affecting the selection process, varieties of accident analysis methods, and their specific strengths and weaknesses. Objectives: This study was carried out with aim of determining the important criteria that accident analysis methods should have and selecting the optimal method for analysis of accidents in the Iranian oil industry. Methods: The fuzzy analytical network process (FANP) technique was used to address the relative importance of the evaluation criteria and sub-criteria (pair-wise comparisons of criteria was carried out by oil industry safety expert) for selecting accident analysis methods. Fuzzy TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) were used for accident analysis methods prioritizing and ranking (methods was scored by occupational health post-graduate students). Results: Results indicated that the multiple levels cause identification capability and provides solution are the most and least important criteria in comparison with the other criteria for selecting accident analysis method, respectively. Based on the studied criteria, it was concluded that tripod beta (CCi = 0.303) can be used as an optimal method for accident analysis in oil industry. Conclusions: The present study found that Tripod beta has a greater ability to analyze oil industry accidents compared with the other methods under consideration. However, it has limitations, which can be addressed by other methods.

Accident investigations have been influential in the evolution of safety management systems. Lessons learned through accident reports have shaped and evolved safety science toward a better understanding of how accidents happen. Review of the investigation reports of several major process‐related accidents shows that both cultural and technological problems have been the primary root causes of accidents. Moreover, it has been demonstrated in several accident reports that the accident might have been prevented if the lessons learned from previous accidents were implemented in the safety management systems. This article provides an overview of the main accident investigation methods. Common pitfalls of accident investigations are also highlighted to help investigators to implement a more effective investigation. Finally, the main processes of a safety management system and the importance of collecting and analyzing data from all aspects of safety management are also discussed.
