Root cause problem solving – 5 Why?
Why was there a fire?
Why was there oxygen?
Oxygen cannot be removed.
Why were people smoking?
Put non smoking sign!
Why was there a leak?
Why did they keep falling on the pipe-line?
Cut tree, eliminate the root cause!
Why did coco-nuts fall on the pipeline?

28
Results of root cause analysis
5 Why? - Root cause analysis revealed falling objects (coconuts) as root cause for the pipeline leak and thus the fire
Implication
To prevent this from happening again:1) Cut tree2) Check for other falling objects3) Incorporate learning in SOP
