Ergonomics Society Human & Organisational Factors in the Oil, Gas & Chemical Industries
7-8 October 2008
Manchester Conference Centre, UK
Conference theme: Sharing Good Practise
See: http://www.ergonomics.org.uk/page.php?s=6&p=140
At this event, Bill Gall member of the EI Human and Organisational Factors Working Group will be presenting his recently published work commissioned by the EI HOFWG on investigating and analysing human and organisational factors of incidents and accidents. Bill will be discussing the guidance document which was commission by the EI HOFWG with the support of the HSE following an extensive review of the literature on accident investigation, as well as from interviews and discussion with users and developers of these investigation and analysis methods. Each incident or accident is a learning opportunity, but one that can be wasted unless the effort put into investigating and analysing it focuses on discovering its true underlying causes rather than on the people directly involved and the immediate causes of their failure.
