You'll usually find three basic types of causes:

Physical causes$$ Tangible, material items failed in some way $($for example, a car's brakes stopped working$).$

Human causes$$ People did something wrong, or did not do something that was needed. Human causes typically lead to physical causes $($for example, no one filled the brake fluid, which led to the brakes failing$).$

Organizational causes$$ A system, process, or policy that people use to make decisions or do their work is faulty $($for example, no one person was responsible for vehicle maintenance, and everyone assumed someone else had filled the brake fluid$).$
