3. Analyze the facts and draw up a cause tree
The cause tree is a logical representation of the facts that led to the accident. Conventionally, the tree is written from right to left, so that the reading direction (from left to right) corresponds to the chronology of the facts. The facts sought here are the so-called "ultimate" facts only (for example: the ground was wet, or the storm basin is polluted).
