there are others as well.
The cause of an event or a condition can be found
only in the essential factors, the indispensable
antecedents of the event or the condition.
The fact that one event follows another does not

ANALYSIS OF CAUSATION

 The cause must be inclusive; it must name all

factors essential to the occurrence of the effect.
It must be restricted to the essential and
indispensable antecedents of the effect. It most
not be expanded to include irrelevant and
tangential circumstantial details.
The necessity of the occurrence of an effect after
a cause and not a mere sequence in time
determines a cause.
Inciting events are insufficient explanations of a
cause and effect relationship.

Bird Causation Model

The model above is a simplified reflection of the real life situation but powerful for communication
purposes: it relates the management system to the event and the results thereof, either good or bad,
depending on the quality of each link in the system. It indicates three cause levels: direct causes,
basic causes and the management system. This model is widely accepted in business including such
areas as safety, quality, environment.
