👉 Accident engineering is a specialized field that focuses on analyzing and understanding the sequence of events leading to an accident, with the ultimate goal of preventing future incidents. It involves a systematic approach to investigate accidents by examining factors such as human behavior, equipment design, environmental conditions, and procedural processes. Engineers use tools like root cause analysis, fault tree analysis, and event tree analysis to identify the underlying causes of accidents, distinguishing between immediate and contributing factors. This discipline not only helps in mitigating risks but also enhances safety standards across various industries, from manufacturing to transportation, by providing actionable insights and recommendations for design improvements and operational changes.
