This lecture covers the analysis of accidents, focusing on the causal tree method, which aims to understand the objective causes, prevent recurrences, and improve safety measures. Through examples like the Herald of Free Enterprise incident and the Imperial Sugar refinery explosion, the importance of collecting facts without judgment, building the causal tree, and choosing effective measures is highlighted.
