This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A principle related to occurrence ratio of accidents with injuries. Heinrich expressed the ratio as follows: Serious injury:minor injury:no injury = 1:29:300. This equation expresses that when you see 1 person who was seriously injured by an accident
