Human Error And Accident Causation Theories, Frameworks And Analytical Techniques: An Annotated Bibliography, Douglas A. Wiegmann, Aaron M. Rich, Scott A. Shappell

Over the last several decades, humans have played a progressively more important causal role in aviation accidents as aircraft have become more [complex]. Consequently, a growing number of aviation organizations are tasking their safety personnel with developing safety programs to address the highly complex and often nebulous issue of human error. However, there is generally no “off-the-shelf” or standard approach for addressing human error in aviation. Indeed, recent years have seen a proliferation of human error frameworks and accident investigation schemes to the point where there now appears to be as many human error models as there are people interested …

Institutionalization And Conflict Management In The New Europe, Alexander Siedschlag

Political institutionalization has become a common concern and catchword, especially as regards the institutionalization of democracy in the post-communist countries and the design of an overarching cooperative order in Europe. However, institutionalization still is far from representing a well-defined analytical concept or an elaborated political strategy. An important question to be answered is: What are the preconditions for a successful strategy of conflict management, based on institutionalization? Cases in point are an envisaged all-European order under the umbrella of the OSCE, sub-regional cooperation (the Visegrád group) and ethnopolitics in the Baltic states. The concept of political institutionalization as defined in …

The Human Factors Analysis And Classification System--Hfacs, Scott A. Shappell, Douglas A. Wiegmann

Human error has been implicated in 70 to 80% of all civil and military aviation accidents. Yet, most accident reporting systems are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. As a result, most accident databases are not conducive to a traditional human error analysis, making the identification of intervention strategies onerous. What is required is a general human error framework around which new investigative methods can be designed and existing accident databases restructured. Indeed, a comprehensive human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) has recently been developed to meet those needs. Specifically, the HFACS framework has been used …
