W. Edwards Deming . the renowned statistical wizard . wanted to know how to create a safer workplace. Here's what he discovered: At an auto manufacturer, a construction company and an electrical utility, documented accident investigations revealed that significantly fewer and milder accidents occurred following accident investigation programs that thoroughly explore the root causes behind every employee mishap.
