  • The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error'

    by Sidney Dekker ...
    When faced with a ’human error’ problem, you may be tempted to ask 'Why didn’t these people watch out better?' Or, 'How can I get my people more engaged in safety?' You might think you can solve your safety problems by telling your people to be more careful, by reprimanding the miscreants, by issuing a new rule or procedure and demanding compliance. These are all expressions of 'The Bad Apple ... Read more

  • The ETTO Principle: Efficiency-Thoroughness Trade-Off

    Why Things That Go Right Sometimes Go Wrong

    by Erik Hollnagel ...
    Accident investigation and risk assessment have for decades focused on the human factor, particularly 'human error'. Countless books and papers have been written about how to identify, classify, eliminate, prevent and compensate for it. This bias towards the study of performance failures, leads to a neglect of normal or 'error-free' performance and the assumption that as failures and successes ... Read more

  • Behind Human Error

    by Sidney Dekker, Richard Cook, Leila Johannesen, Nadine Sarter, David Woods ...
    Human error is cited over and over as a cause of incidents and accidents. The result is a widespread perception of a 'human error problem', and solutions are thought to lie in changing the people or their role in the system. For example, we should reduce the human role with more automation, or regiment human behavior by stricter monitoring, rules or procedures. But in practice, things have proved ... Read more

  • Resilience Engineering

    Concepts and Precepts

    Edited by Erik Hollnagel, David D. Woods, Nancy Leveson ...
    For Resilience Engineering, 'failure' is the result of the adaptations necessary to cope with the complexity of the real world, rather than a breakdown or malfunction. The performance of individuals and organizations must continually adjust to current conditions and, because resources and time are finite, such adjustments are always approximate. This definitive new book explores this ... Read more

    by Igor Arievitch, Mark H. Bickhard, Sharon Borthwick-Duffy, David Cavallo, Warren Funk, Mary Gauvain, John Law, Judy Malloy, Neil Selwyn, Kimberly M. Sanborn, Phil Shapiro, Jaan Valsiner, Helen Verran ...
    There are numerous publications about education and technology. What is missing is a balanced appraisal of the values and cognitive skills technology promotes and those it devalues. This is important for education because the way we teach influences how children think, and it is of more general importance for the evolution of society. If we wait until these issue are definitively resolved and have ... Read more
