ABSTRACT

STAMP incorporates three basic components: constraints, hierarchical levels of control, and process loops. Accidents are analyzed for the reasons of why the prevention of controls was not in place and why the system safety constraints were not adequately enforced.

 Model of Construction Accident Causation

The model of Construction Accident Causation and the STAMP Model were initially developed to improve the analysis of the accidents in occupational safety. This was examined as a critical activity because there is a demand to have a decisive report on any form of accidents in the occupational setting. The investigation is directed at recognizing the actual causes of these accidents so that the different kinds of human errors that are responsible may be recognized and ways of preventing them are discovered (Hudson, 2014). There are many similarities that the STAMP model and the Construction Accident Causation Model play but the main one is that they both try to discover reasons for occupational occurrences. Another similarity is that both of them are based on the assumption that the worker is main target of the accidents involved. Meanwhile, these models are in concurrence that by discovering the factors of humans and the errors they can be prevented (Mitropoulos, Abdelhamid, & Howell, 2005).

The difference between the two models in regards to accidents includes that the model of Construction Accident Causation acknowledges accidents to be created by the end outcome of series of consecutive issues that is combined with conditions that are unsafe to individual interactions with the systems (Ouyang, et al., 2010).

Accident Causation Management System

In the Accident Causation Management System, the STAMP model first step is to recognize and classify the different errors included in accident causation. The two main errors are active and latent (Mitropoulos, Abdelhamid & Howell, 2005).

The errors that involve frontline personnel and occur at the point of contact between a human and a machine is called active errors. In contrast, latent errors are accidents waiting to occur. They are failures of organizations or designs that allow the inevitable active errors to cause harm (Ouyang, et al., 2010).

Models Benefits

There are benefits that come with these models. A way to decreasing occupational accidents is by utilizing the STAMP model. It proposes a systematic way of recognizing and categorizing the errors for ease of preventing them. The Construction Accident Causation model in working environments, can analyze as being unsafe. However, this can aid in recognizing the unsafe aspects and determining a resolution to guarantee that they no longer occurs. Meanwhile, the Accident Causation Management System is beneficial because it represent a perspective on envisioning the behavior of humans. This insight is not presented from the other models and this makes it beneficial (Kwon, H., Yoon, H., & Moon, I.).

Around the world, organizations are utilizing the STAMP Model. In these organizations, many human errors have led to many deaths. For example, lapses and slips are the most common. With these errors, the primary concerns are caused by switches being closed and airplane gauges that are poorly designed (Chua & Goh, 2004).

On airplanes, there is urgency for staff to be near perfect. These workers are trained to be cautious to prevent any type of mistakes. Being cautious will ensure the safety of the lives of others and it will allow them to concentrate on their job. In addition, many organizations take directive action when an employee is found guilty where negligence appears (Hudson, 2014).
