Heinrich Was Wrong, A NZ Case Study

May 7, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Oner of the grand delusions of safety amongst many is that there is a relation between minor injuries and fatalities. There is not. The silly Heinrich semiotic that promotes this idea was made up in 1941 by an insurance salesman.
