In this book the author applies contemporary error theory to the
needs of investigators and of anyone attempting to understand why
someone made a critical error, how that error led to an incident or
accident, and how to prevent such errors in the future. Students
and investigators of human error will gain an appreciation of the
literature on error, with numerous references to both scientific
research and investigative reports in a wide variety of
applications, from airplane accidents, to bus accidents, to bonfire
disasters. Based on the author's extensive experience as an
accident investigator and instructor of both aircraft accident
investigation techniques and human factors psychology, it reviews
recent human factors literature, summarizes major transportation
accidents, and shows how to investigate the types of errors that
typically occur in high risk industries. It presents a model of
human error causation influenced largely by James Reason and
Neville Moray, and relates it to error investigations with
step-by-step guidelines for data collection and analysis that
investigators can readily apply as needed. This second edition of
Investigating Human Error has been brought up to date throughout,
with pertinent recent accidents and safety literature integrated.
It features new material on fatigue, distraction (eg mobile phone
and texting) and medication use. It also now explores the topics of
corporate culture, safety culture and safety management systems.
Additionally the second edition considers the effects of the
reduction in the number of major accidents on investigation
quality, the consequences of social changes on transportation
safety (such as drinking and driving, cell phone use, etc), the
contemporary role of accident investigation, and the effects of the
prosecution of those involved in accidents.
