Essential factors model
The Essential Factors model [1][2][3] is an incident investigation model based on determining the essential and contributory factors that lead to an incident.
Every incident has essential factors associated with people, equipment and environment giving the 100% paradigm:[citation needed]
100% / 100% / 100% paradigm –
- 100% of incidents include “people” factors
- 100% of incidents include “equipment” factors
- 100% of incidents include “environment” factors
It is the purpose of the Essential Factors model to attempt to use value-neutral language[4] to give maximum “meaning” and minimum “affect”. This will not always be the case, but it is suggested that the use of the word “cause” and “human error” by an accident investigator during data collection and interview phases, will have a potentially greater negative response than the use of alternative words.[citation needed]
