A manifesto for the systems-thinking-informed approach to incident
and accident investigation, this accessible text is aimed at
experts and generalists. A Glossary of Terms explains key concepts.
The premise is both unoriginal and original. Unoriginal, because it
stands on the shoulders of systems-thinking pioneers - Barry
Turner, Bruno Latour, Charles Perrow, Erik Hollnagel, Diane Vaughan
and other luminaries. Original, because it is populist: The
Systems-thinking for Safety series shows how theoretical insights
can help make the world a safer place. Potentially, the series as a
whole, and this manifesto text, have agency. True to its mission to
affect change, the book uses case studies to demonstrate how
systems-thinking can help stakeholders learn from incidents,
accidents and near-misses. The case studies of, for example, the
Piper Alpha and Deepwater Horizon offshore disasters, the
Lac-Megantic rail disaster, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster,
the United States Navy collisions and the Grenfell Tower fire,
demonstrate the universal applicability of systems-thinking. The
manifesto argues that the systems-thinking informed approach to
incident, accident and near-miss investigation, while resource
intensive and effortful, produces tangible safety benefits and, by
ensuring that "right is done", delivers justice and closure.
