believed to have the credibility into further submitting useful Analysis hints and opening pioneer paths
in Accident Analysis.
The intentions of this Marketing Edition for TRIPOD demonstration are to abstain from disputes that
may arise from the fact that this graph depiction intentionally will deviate from the official (The Greek
AAIASB’s opinion).It is true that as it was being drawn up so much time after the disclosure of the
original accident report, the chances were in favor for this new attempt to also have gained insight
from other papers or the opinions as presented by other experts, among them even those in opposition
to the so called “Tsolakis Report”.
Prior to starting working with TRIPOD in sorting out valuable data of HELIOS accident, it is worth
mentioning that by applying this methodology there is the option of disregarding the “relative
position” of the pressure system’s control switch (either in AUTO or in MAN) or who left it that way.
TRIPOD BETA can be applied without taking into account the comments, either in favor or against, of
the role of the pair of F-16s on the accident, or even of survivability aspects for passengers, flight and
cabin crew, after remaining for nearly 2 ½ hours in an altogether hypoxic and also extremely cold
environment and its consequences as they are thought to have been, which created the “Accident
Environment”, as the cabin undoubtedly “followed” the airplane in the height of 34000 ft.
Tripod Incident Analysis Methodology
Accidents or Incidents are unpleasant events of a kind that no one wishes to continue speaking about
after they have occurred. In High Risk Entities at least, there is a growing tension of investigators
struggling to uncover real
and latent “Causes” that had led to them. The primary reason for doing so
had always been the need of human nature to move further down rather than just continuing picking
up
the easy option, that of casting blame upon the most obvious victims instead
of bringing over the
catharsis, by letting fresh air coming in, by new concepts and new investigation methodologies.
What is the TRIPOD Incident& Accident Analysis Methodology?
The birth of the “Safety Culture” era and its dominance over the previous “Socio-technical Period” in
accident causation had forever altered the prevailing axioms that drive accident investigation. In
Safety Culture Era, it is profound that people form teams and carry common characteristics that play a
substantially important role into the way that accidents are created and thus investigation moves down
to organisational issues rather than just apportioning blame to certain humans.
Therefore Tripod methodology delves into the new advents and fresh tools segment, which aim at
pinpointing and analyzing the reasons for failure of a Barrier, via the application of the Human
