Safeopedia explains Total Loss Approach
The total loss approach requires that damage to property, equipment and lost time be considered when planning for the elimination potential of accidents or injuries. These considerations are made for both accidents and near-miss scenarios that have occurred within the workplace. This approach requires a strong commitment from company leadership on down-to-line employees, and the belief that accidents and injuries are preventable must be strongly held.
