Given our focus on analyzing and understaning incident causation, it is worth noting that some safety professionals now refuse to use the term incident. They claim that doing so implies that incidents result from unforseeable events, whereas we know that most incidents result from a foreseeable series of events. From your experience, what are the merits (pros and cons) of this position? Do incidents just happen or are all incidents preventable? Why or why not?
