Abstract
This study intended to exploratively analyze the structural causality of Heinrich Law which implies ‘Iteration and accumulation of small and light sign(portent) of accidents for certain period of time eventually causes severe accidents’, applying this law to the human error data of Korail’s train drivers. The results of path analysis using AMOS showed that the direction of two paths, that is, ‘cognitive failure, mistake and near-miss’ and ‘mistake, near-miss, and responsibility accident’ were shown as valid. And ‘cognitive failure and responsibility accident’ path also showed a significant causality, a different result from Heinrich Law’s stepwise structural causality. However, it was testified that the overall stepwise causality structure which Heinrich Law connotes is also shown in train drivers human error.
