Heinrich first proposed the causal linkage theory of accidents to clarify the causes of casualties and the relationship between them. According to this theory, the accident of casualty is not an isolated event, although the injury may happen suddenly at a certain moment, it is the result of a series of events
(1) Casualties occur as a result of accidents.
(2) The occurrence of the accident is due to: ①people's unsafe behavior;②the unsafe state of the object.
