Synopsis

The objective of this book is to provide practical guidance on developing and implementing incident reporting and learning systems that are underpinned by the latest 'systems thinking' on accident causation and prevention. Although the systems approach to accident causation is now well known (e.g. Dekker, 2011; Reason, 1990; 1997; 2008), the extent to which incident reporting and learning systems used in safety-critical domains incorporate systems thinking is questionable. As a result, there is a notable gap between research and practice, and opportunities to develop more effective and holistic accident prevention measures are not being taken. The book begins by outlining the systems thinking in accident causation and prevention philosophy and the need for incident reporting and learning systems that are based in systems thinking. It then outlines a generic process model for developing and implementing such incident reporting and learning systems within safety-critical systems.

Author Bio
Dr Natassia Goode is a Research Fellow within the USCAR (University of the Sunshine Coast Accident Research) team at the University of the Sunshine Coast and is the manager of the ARC funded UPLOADS (Understanding and Preventing Led Outdoor Accidents Data System) project. Natassia has eight years of experience in applied and experimental research. Her honours and PhD research at the University of Sydney was concerned with how people learn to solve problems in complex, dynamic and uncertain environments. Since finishing her PhD in 2011, she has been involved in the application of accident analysis methods in a range of domains, including emergency management, workplace safety, road transport and the outdoor activity sector. Dr Paul M. Salmon is an Associate Professor in Human Factors and leader of the USCAR (University of the Sunshine Coast Accident Research) team at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Paul holds an Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) post-doctoral training fellowship in the area of Public Health and has over 12 years' experience in applied Human Factors research in a number of domains, including the military, aviation, and road and rail transport. Paul has co-authored 10 books, over 80 peer review journal articles, and numerous conference articles and book chapters. Paul has received various accolades for his research to date, including the 2007 Royal Aeronautical Society Hodgson Prize for best research and best paper and the 2008 Ergonomics Society's President's Medal. Paul was also recently named as one of three finalists in the 2011 Scopus Young Australian Researcher of the Year Award. Dr Michael Lenne leads the Human Factors Team at MUARC and is a registered Psychologist in Victoria, having obtained a PhD in Experimental Psychology from Monash University in 1998. Michael has over 14 years' experience conducting human factors and simulation research in the road safety and military aviation and maritime env
