Abstract This booklet presents in comic-strip form an example of the chain of events leading to an occupational accident. It is aimed at small-to medium-sized enterprises, with the objective of encouraging them not to consider occupational accidents as being unavoidable, but as occurrences that highlight deeper organizational problems. To address this issue, this document presents an approach consisting of four progressive levels of analysis: inventory of all accidents and incidents; list of known facts; search for corrective measures, including with the use of the causal tree method; definition of an occupational hygiene and safety action plan.
