How to learn more from accidents

Overview

This webinar focuses on how to learn more from accidents. Presented by Nancy Leveson, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT where she describes a systems approach to accident prevention. The topics covered include why are we not learning enough from accidents today, do operators really cause most accidents, and how we can increase learning. Examples from the process industry are used to describe a new, more effective approach to analysing the cause of accidents. The new approach is starting to be adopted widely for aviation accidents and incidents.
