RCA Process
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.

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

Root Cause Analysis Example
Root Cause Example
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.
