Some Conditions, Behaviors, Actions, and Inactions Are Never A Root Cause

  2. A specific instance of inadequate training
  3. The failure to identify a specific hazard

  5. The absence of a specific requirement

Famous quotes containing the word root:

    “The bud of the apple is desire, the down-falling gold,
    The catbird’s gobble in the morning half-awake
    These are real only if I make them so. Whistle
    For me, grow green for me and, as you whistle and grow green,
    Intangible arrows quiver and stick in the skin
    And I taste at the root of the tongue the unreal of what is real.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
