1. PROJECT. To Design an Accident Causation Model 2. SCOPE. The Accident Causation Model (or "Swiss Cheese Model") is a theoretical model that illustrates how accidents occur in organisations. The model focuses on both organisational hierarchy and human error. It postulates that the typical accident occurs because several (human) errors have occurred at all levels in the organisational hierarchy in a way that made such accident unavoidable. For example‚ decision makers may have made ill decisions
