Safety Event Analysis Overview

Safety event reports should serve as a primary indicator of system safety within an organization.  Event reports offer a first-hand account of the factors present in an adverse safety event. The potential for meaningfully impacting an organization's safety is often limited by either the reporting mechanism or organization's analysis techniques.
