Cause 5
Cause 5 : The latent weakness that allows or causes the observed cause of an initiating event to happen, including the reasons for the latent weakness. Corrective actions designed to address direct causes are sometimes termed repairs. Latent Weakness: An undetected degradation in an element of a safety layer. Such a degradation could lead to that element failing to perform as expected if it were requested to perform a function. Observed Cause: The failure, action, omission or condition that directly leads to an initiating event. Root Cause: The fundamental cause of an initiating event, correction of which will prevent recurrence of the initiating event (that is, the root cause is the failure to detect and correct the relevant latent weakness(es) and the reasons for that failure). Corrective actions designed to address root causes are sometimes termed remedies (also remedial actions)
