This book benefited from the financial support of a French
Government scholarship between 1976 and 1978. It sponsored a
doctoral thesis in which initial theoretical, empirical, and
historical reflections on acci- dents were developed and written
while I was a student at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences
Sociales in Paris. The New Zealand Depart- ment of Labour funded a
study on industrial accidents and night work during 1979-80. In
1982-83, the award of a postdoctoral fellowship by the University
of Canterbury (New Zealand) permitted a first version of this book
to be finished. In the summer of 1986-87 the Funda~ao de Amparo a
Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP) and the Labora- toire
d'Ergonomie et de Neurophysiologie du Travail of the Centre Na-
tional des Arts et Metiers joined forces to fund a stay in Paris
where the second draft of this book was presented in a special
doctoral seminar series. The third draft was completed during a
1988 research leave granted by the Conjunto de Ciencia Politica of
the Universidade Es- tadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). On a further
research leave from the same unit, and thanks to a postdoctoral
fellowship from the Brazilian Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento
Cientifico e Tecnol6gico (CNPq), final redrafting was carried out
between August and October 1990 when I was a visiting fellow in the
Science, Technology, and Society Program at Cornell University. I
am deeply grateful to these institutions for their generosity.
