Insights
Describe what you are working on and see the lessons that apply from every entry.
Lessons are free. Subscribers also get the failure modes by manufacturer, integrator, country and asset age, with the verified record behind each. See plans.

Major means deaths, serious injury or the loss of the asset. The current year is still filling in. 76 earlier entries, before 2015, are not shown by year. How entries are counted.
Three things worth pausing on.
Three small charts drawn from the register's published entries. Each is intended as a stop-and-think moment, a pattern worth considering against your own asset's situation. None of them are statistical claims; they are observations about what the register currently contains.
Where in the lifecycle do incidents happen?
Most operators assume "normal operation" dominates. Look at how much commissioning shows up, and ask when your next major commissioning is.
What does the severity profile look like by asset class?
Different asset classes carry different risk envelopes. Compare the profile of yours against others. Where would your asset sit?
Where is the densest learning available?
The register is denser in some areas than others. Cells with more entries have more cross-incident lessons available. Cells with fewer warrant caution before generalising, but also represent gaps the register would benefit from filling.
What are you working on?
Describe your decision. We match against every published entry and return the lessons that apply. The more specific you are, the sharper the match.
Recurring failure modes documented in the register.
Every distinct combination of asset type and risk category with two or more entries appears here automatically. Click any failure mode to see the case studies and the lessons that have emerged.

Every lesson, browsable.
Each numbered lesson from every published entry, presented as an individual card. Use the filters to narrow by asset type or severity. Each card links back to its source case study.
