Abstract:
Since the industrial revolutions, accidents have become more common and frequent in all the industries. To find out the causes of these accidents, plenty of techniques have been used until now. A review of the existing techniques of accident causation has been done in this study which highlights the strengths and weaknesses of all these techniques that have been used to find out the contributory factors of these incidents. In addition, the industries where these techniques have been used, have been identified and it is emphasized that these techniques should be applied in the textile industry in Pakistan which is the most accident prone industry in recent times. This study also leads to the realization that there is a need for newer techniques such as structural equation modelling that address the complex nature of accidents and deal with the interactions of contributory factors of accidents in large scale industries. It is also emphasized that the government should take the initiative of making an institution that gathers the accidents data so that the exact causes can be known and dealt with accordingly.
