“…The proposed investigation programs should focus on workplace factors that contribute to the reoccurrence of direct causes, specifically the workplace factors that lead to occupational incidents (i.e., incident sources and events or exposures, see Table 2). According to Jooma et al (2015), workplace factors include incompetent leadership, inadequate supervision, inadequate training, and inadequate maintenance.…”

The specialty electrical and mechanical contracting sectors provide crucial services and perform functions that are vital to the products delivered by the construction industry. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the causes of fatal and nonfatal injuries in these specialty construction sectors over time as well as their effects on the level of safety performance in the industry. Accordingly, the most prevalent causes of fatal and nonfatal incidents in the mechanical and electrical sectors are investigated and presented as a longitudinal study from 2005 to 2015. The trends in occupational injuries in these sectors over this period of time are also compared to the trends reported in previous studies. The results from this study show that the direct causes of fatal and nonfatal injuries in the electrical and mechanical fatal and nonfatal injuries differ from those found in the construction industry in general. However, the electrical and mechanical construction industry trends identified in this study are similar to previously reported trends. The similarities between the current findings and those of previous studies highlight real shortcomings in the safety management approaches within the construction industry. Based on the findings of this study, a learning investigation system has been proposed to improve safety performance among electrical and mechanical specialty contractors.

“…CED specifically mentions man, machine, material, method and measurement while CRT focusses on undesirable effects defined by the people working on the problem. RCA+ specifically mentions that, when considering the entire product development, the following categories should be considered: time, place, material, functionality, supersystem and energy & forces [7][8][9][11][12][13].…”

RCA+ is a state decomposition method aimed at finding root causes of problems and describing these root causes as TRIZ contradictions. The current rules to apply the RCA+ methodology are balanced between speed of application and the quality and depth of insights. In this research alternatives methodologies of constructing the RCA+ contradiction tree are investigated and 2 templates have been developed and validated. Significant improvements were found in the width and depth of analysis as well as the level of better understanding of the problem being studied.
