As noted by Heinrich (1959), incidents are precursors to accidents, consisting in orders of magnitude significantly higher than accidents. Incidents indicate the presence of problems in systems that if left unresolved, have the potential to result in an accident. Incident reporting, therefore, has long been utilized in the aviation realm as a learning tool for proactively analyzing and treating unsafe conditions and actions before they become accidents. The most widely known incident reporting system in aviation is the National Aeronautical and Space Administration's (NASA) Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS). Connell (1999) notes that such anonymous incident reporting systems are crucial to accident prevention, because incident reports often provide information about safety hazards that is frequently lost or not obtained from accident investigations due to crewmember fatality.
