Taylor & Francis Ltd Pre-Accident Investigations: An Introduction to Organizational Safety

Conklin (human performance and safety integration, Los Alamos National Laboratory) outlines a road map for understanding how to manage safety in the workplace and solve problems before they become accidents. He presents practical guides, tips and tools, and suggestions for managing risks, hazards, and safety. He discusses the types and phases of failure; how to change the way an organization reacts to failure; the pre-accident investigation tool; how workers trigger failure; how to manage change, predict failure, and train workers; the first steps in leading change; and four key aspects of safety; and provides case studies of the Titanic, aviation accidents, and other situations from a safety perspective.
