An organization may begin planning safety improvements after a root cause analysis of a certain problem. A root cause is a factor that causes a nonconformance and requires elimination through process improvement. However, a root cause analysis is a wide range of approaches, techniques, and tools that help to determine the causes of a problem. It identifies the origin of a problem using a specific set of steps to find the primary cause of a problem. Moreover, it assumes that the systems interrelate with the events. This means that and action in one area triggers another action in another area. It also involves the extensive investigation of a problem. The tracking of such actions enables the discovery of the problem’s origin.

THE PROCESS OF ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Root cause analysis begins with the definition of a problem. The investigation of a problem provides data. The collection of data then follows. This leads to a better understanding of the issues. The people then identify the possible causal factors of the problem. This includes the conditions and the events leading to the problem. Furthermore, they identify the root cause which is the real reason for the occurrence of the problem. Eventually, they recommend and implement solutions to prevent the problem from happening again. This also involves planning safety improvements.

THE STEPS IN PLANNING SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
Primarily, planning safety improvements begin with the creation of a plan. It should contain the measures to take to ensure the safety of workers. Moreover, it is important to inspect a workplace to ensure that the equipment and tools are safe to use. Training of employees is also essential to ensure they perform their job safely and properly. Additionally, the management should also meet regularly with the staff to maintain an open dialogue. Also, in case of an accident, it is important to carry out a root cause analysis. Furthermore, the investigation of a problem helps to ensure that the problem will not recur.
