In other words, we take a look at a division's reported injuries and use the triangle to (very roughly) determine if the division is also reporting all of it's unsafe acts and conditions as required by our HSE management system. We attempt to prevent the major incidents by reviewing major incidents and high potential minor incidents and unsafe acts/conditions, requiring root cause investigations, and implementing resulting corrective actions. Does the pyramid have a role? Most definitely. It provides us in the office a guide to ensuring we have the information we need to make sure those hard working employees who make our company money also get home safe to their families at the end of the day.
