  • BEYOND AVIATION HUMAN FACTORS
    DANIEL E. MAURINO / JAMES REASON / NEIL JOHNSTON / ROB B. LEE
    The authors believe that a systematic organizational approach to aviation safety must replace the piecemeal approaches largely favoured in the past, but this change needs to be preceded by information to explain why a new approach is necessary.

    JAMES REASON
    Major accidents are rare events due to the many barriers, safeguards and defences developed by modern technologies. But they continue to happen with saddening regularity and their human and financial consequences are all too often unacceptably catastrophic.
