The design of an accident investigation procedure

Abstract:
In August 1980, a joint meeting of the IEA and the NES was held in Oslo to discuss "Ergonomics in Action - From Theory to Practice" and papers were invited to illustrate this theme. It is the burden of this paper that ergonomics is not widely practised partly because the model of application implied in the conference theme is inappropriate and partly because ergonomists tend to be laboratory-rather than problem-centered. Some of the constraints associated with problem-centered research in organisations are discussed and a particular problem of applied ergonomics, as it relates to the design of accident investigation procedures, is described.
