It represents the ratio between at-risk behaviors, near-miss events, and injuries by severity. At the base of the pyramid are at-risk behaviors which result in near Misses without adverse consequences. Recordable injury’s/lost workdays. Fatality. Doing something unsafe usually doesn’t result in an accident but the more times we allow unsafe actions to occur the wider the base of the pyramid and in turn increases the probability of an injury.
