Abstract

Inail is the Italian National Institute for insurance against accidents at work, whose duties include both Occupational Safety and Health OSH, and the control of Major Accident Hazard MAH.
The objective of this research is to develop some models able to represent cause-effects links related to occupational and industrial accidents and incidents in order to get a global view of the matters concerned the industrial safety. The System Dynamics SD methodology were evaluated fit for the objective, since one of its key features is the capability to represent cause-effects links through loops instead of linear relations, offering the advantage to view the entire system all at once. The paper describes two SD models developed for training purposes.
