# Heinrich's Law

Heinrich's Law is a foundational principle in industrial safety. For each major accident that results in a serious injury, there are 29 less severe accidents and 300 incidents with no injury. 

This 1-29-300 ratio serves as a powerful framework for proactive risk management. The main implication for manufacturing is clear: by thoroughly analyzing and addressing every near miss, an organization can effectively prevent the more serious accidents that are likely to occur. This principle demonstrates that focusing on seemingly minor incidents is the most reliable way to create a truly safe and resilient work environment.
