The Safety Hierarchy Is A Recognized Linear Logical Approach To Hazard Control Most Commonly Utilized By Safety Professionals In Hazard Avoidance. In This Paper, Use Of This Method Of Analysis Is Introduced As A Method Of Forensic Analysis Of Product Failures, Workplace And Premises Liability Accidents, And Process Failures To Help Identify The Root Cause Of Failure And The Role Of The Responsible Entity In Causation. Examples And Case Histories Will Be Used To Demonstrate The Effectiveness Of The Analytical Technique.
