Swiss Cheese Model of Risk Management - Visual Explanation #1870045 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts the Swiss Cheese Model, where each cheese slice represents a defensive layer (e.g., policies, training, equipment), and holes represent potential weaknesses. When holes align across layers, a hazard (the red arrow) breaches all defenses, causing an incident. Widely used in safety engineering and human factors analysis.

Used in safety training, healthcare quality improvement, aviation, and occupational health resources to explain accident causation and the importance of redundant controls. Matches user intent seeking visual metaphors for systemic risk or error prevention.
