File name | Man-Made Disasters |
File Description | The paper presents a systems view of the organizational preconditions to technologicalaccidents and disasters, and in particular the seminal ``Man-made Disasters model'' proposedby the late Professor Barry Turner. Events such as Chernobyl, the Challenger and Bhopalhave highlighted the fact that in seeking the causes of many modern large-scale accidents wemust now consider as key the interaction between technology and organizational failings.Such so-called `organizational accidents' stem from an incubation of latent errors and eventswhich are at odds with the culturally taken for granted, accompanied by a collective failure oforganizational intelligence. |
