Heinrich was a pioneering occupational safety researcher, whose 1931 publication Industrial Accident Prevention: A Scientific Approach [Heinrich 1931] was based on the analysis of large amounts of accident data collected by his employer, a large insurance company. This work, which continued for more than thirty years, identified causal factors of industrial accidents including “unsafe acts of people” and “unsafe mechanical or physical conditions”. Unfortunately, H. W. Heinrich’s books are out of print, and quite difficult to find. Copyright on the 1931 edition of his book Industrial Accident Prevention is due to expire in 2026 (28 + 67 years from the date of publication, according to this author’s understanding of article 304 of US copyright law). The 1941 edition of the book is available online at archive.org, thanks to the Digital Library of India. Heinrich is most famous for originating the concept of the “safety pyramid”. He also developed the “five domino model” of accident causation, a sequential accident model which has been influential in the development of occupational safety thinking. His “domino theory” represents an accident sequence as a causal chain of events, represented as dominos that topple in a chain reaction. The fall of the first domino leads to the fall of the second, followed by the third, etc.,
