• A contributing factor is defined as an issue pertinent to a
fall, which may not have caused the fatality alone or
directly, but whose presence increased the likelihood of a
fall.
• A list of 13 contributing factors based on common hazards
and themes was produced.
• The 92 fatalities were then reviewed and assigned
relevant factors.
• Each fatality had anywhere between 1 and 6 factors.
