6. A minor incident is defi ned by CAA as an isolated occurrence
or defi ciency not indicative of a signifi cant
system problem.
7. An airspace incident is defi ned by CAA as an incident
involving deviation from, or shortcomings of,
the procedures or rules for (1) avoiding collisions
between aircraft or (2) avoiding collisions between
aircraft and other obstacles when an aircraft is being
provided with an air traffi c service.
8. A defect incident is defi ned by CAA as an incident that
involves failure or malfunction of an aircraft or aircraft
component, whether found in fl ight or on the ground.

Barriers Help Contain
Multiple-failure Accidents
Barriers are critical design elements for safety because they offer double benefits,
the author says. They can prevent a failure or can lessen the consequences if a
failure occurs. Moreover, they offer some protection against multiple failures that
are difficult to anticipate because there are so many potential combinations.

Barriers and Accident Prevention. Hollnagel,
Erik. Aldershot, England: Ashgate Publishing,
2004. 242 pp. Tables, fi gures, bibliography,
indexes.
The book examines many theoretical models
of accident causation, but emphasizes ideas
that the author believes will be useful for readers
who are in a position to change operating
practices.
“A barrier is, generally speaking, an obstacle, an
obstruction or a hindrance that may either (1)
prevent an event from taking place or (2) thwart or
lessen the impact of the consequences if it happens
nonetheless,” says the author. “In the former case,
the purpose of the barrier is to make it impossible
for a specifi c action or event to occur. In the latter
case, the barrier serves, for instance, to slow down
uncontrolled releases of matter and energy, to limit
the reach of the consequences or to weaken them
in other ways.”
Accidents rarely happen today because of a single
failure in advanced technological systems, the
author says; engineers and designers have learned
to guard against the failure of individual devices
or systems.
“This, however, does not rule out accidents that
happen when two or more failures occur together,
as when a simple performance failure combines
with a weakened or dysfunctional barrier,” the author
says. “Such combinations are much harder
to predict than single failures, and therefore also
harder to prevent. Since the number of combinations
of single failures can be exceedingly large, it
is usually futile to prevent multiple-failure accidents
by a strict elimination of individual causes.
A much more effi cient solution is to make use of
barriers, since the effectiveness of a barrier does
not depend on knowing the precise cause of the
event.”
