20 RCA Process

21 Definitions Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a method of problem solving used for identifying the root causes of undesirable events. Causal Factor is one that affects an event's outcome but it does not prevent its recurrence with certainty. However, removing a causal factor can benefit an outcome. Root Cause is a factor whose removal from the problemfault-sequence prevents the final undesirable event from recurring.

29 RCA Process Report of Event Initial Investigation Project Team Safety Team Investigation Root Cause Analysis Incident Review Corrective Action Responsibility Follow-up

30 RCA Process Key Concept: The most basic cause (or causes) that can reasonably identified that management has control to fix and, when fixed, will prevent (or significantly reduce the likelihood of) the problem s recurrence. Mark Paradies A Root Cause is the absence of a best practice or the failure to apply knowledge that would have prevented the problem. Mark Paradies

38 Root Cause Example

39 Incident Description (Embellished for Training Purposes) An earth retention contractor was engaged as a third tier sub to install an earth retention system on a portion of the project where sloping was not a viable protective solution option. The earth retention system is installed by vibrating h-piles into the soil then wood lagging is fastened as the soil is removed. During the installation of the sixth earth retention pile, the steel pile damaged an underground water main line, causing the water main to rupture. The owner was immediately notified and within one hour the damaged water line was shut off.

42 ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS WORKSHEET DATE: 5/16/16 PROJECT: Xxxxxxxxxxxx ANALYSIS BY: Dave Murphy (Embellished for Training Purposes) INCIDENT DESCRIPTION: During the installation of the sixth earth retention pile that was being installed along the North side of the property, the steel pile damaged an underground water main line, causing the water main to rupture. The water department was immediately notified and within one hour the area of the damage water line was shut off. EVENT: 5/5/16 Risk Assessment completed with earth retention contractor EVENT: 5/13/16 Earth retention contractor began staging on site EVENT: Locators marked buried utility lines CONDITION OR CAUSAL FACTOR: Earth retention foreman spoke with locator but did not review drawings together EVENT: 5/16/16 - Crew began work installing H piles EVENT: 5 H piles were installed per drawing CONDITION OR CAUSAL FACTOR: Project team did not identify water line in close proximity (12 ) to buried water line CONDITION OR CAUSAL FACTOR: Pepper Superintendent not on site due to other project commitments CONDITION OR CAUSAL FACTOR: No morning huddle with Pepper and Earth Retention contractor to review locates and procedures CONDITION OR CAUSAL FACTOR: Drawing was difficult to read because of contour lines and amount of information EVENT: Crew did not see water line locate marks in proximity of next pile CONDITION OR CAUSAL FACTOR: Paint marks stopped at the valve and did not continue thru work area EVENT: Excavator with vibratory attachment was positioned to drive next pile EVENT: Steel H beam was vibrated to bury it to required depth EVENT: Steel H beam contacted water line at 6 to 7 depth INCIDENT: Steel H beam damaged 10 water line causing uncontrolled flow of water EVENT: Utility turned water off at valve to isolate CONDITION OR CAUSAL FACTOR: Line was not identified by locator or marks were erased by equipment and activity 42

Management Systems - Planning, scheduling or tracking NI Scheduling of Supervision was compromised by conflicting job assignments and responsibilities. Problem Identification/Control - Corrective Actions NI This is a recurring problem for Pepper where projects are started without sufficient time allotted for Superintendent pre-planning. Projects also begin without adequate supervision on site to manage the risks of the work scope. Action Items: Suggest that management draft and implement a policy for project coverage to ensure that experienced, qualified supervision is in place on all projects for risks associated with the work scope. 49

50 CAUSAL FACTOR = No morning huddle with Pepper and Earth Retention contractor to review locates and procedures. No Excavation Permit form was completed.

The meeting agenda shall contain the following items: Completion of Excavation Permit form. Subcontractor to return form to Pepper Superintendent at the end of the shift. Prior to issuing permits ensure that: A qualified PCCI employee reviewed the layout of underground installations to identify possible conflicts with existing utilities. Discussion and documentation of previous days (shift) trenching and excavating activities the on the Master Utility Location Drawing. Discussion of the scope and location of work for the days (shift) work. Verification of known underground utility locations and applicable private and public locates using the Master Utility Location Drawing and Project Utility Locate Calendar. Review of the pot-hole/daylight/hand excavation procedures for all located utility crossing points. 50

51 CAUSAL FACTOR = Project team did not identify water line in close proximity (12 ) to buried water line ROOT CAUSE ACTION ITEMS = ROOT CAUSE DESCRIPTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS Displays/indicators to recognize/analyze task unavailable or unclear? Displays NI Drawing of underground utilities and piles was very difficult to read (EX 6). Knowledge of task or equipment missing? Immediate Supervision - Preparation - Job plan NI Pre-job walk NI Earth retention contractor Superintendent was not part of the PSSP/Risk Assessment meeting. Supervision during Work - No supervision - Not enough supervision Pepper Superintendent was not on site to review plans and utility locates with excavation and earth retention contractors. Communication between contractors or owner required? Communications - Comm. between contractors NI Superintendents for excavation and earth retention contractors did not review pile locations and utility location for this pile to determine work should not be completed until the line had been day lighted with the hydro-vac.
