Guide for Use
A “root cause” is a condition or circumstance that prompted an action that led to the event or near miss occurrence or harm. The most basic cause(s) are often several steps removed from the action (or inaction) that precipitated the event or near miss. Correction of a root cause within the system can prevent (or significantly reduce the likelihood of) the recurrence of the event or near miss.
