GAIN INDEX Gain Index Criteria (any one of or combination of)

4 Ø Addresses latent causes.
Ø Eliminates hazards or has the greatest reduction in risk levels.
Ø Eliminate initiating events.
3 Ø Addresses basic causes.
Ø Reduces risk levels to a lesser extent than “4”.
Ø Prevent incident by eliminating subsequent condition splits.
Ø Eliminates impact in overall PEAP despite having an event.
2 Ø Addresses immediate causes.
Ø Reduces risk levels to a lesser extent than “3”.
Ø Minimizes impact significantly in overall PEAP i.e. mitigates the consequence of an incident.
1 Ø Minimizes impact slightly in overall PEAP i.e. mitigates the consequence of an incident.
Ø Does not address any cause.
Ø Reduces risk levels to a lesser extent than “2”, or not at all.
