Human Error – James Reason

Modern technology has now reached a point where improved safety can only be achieved through a better understanding of human error mechanisms.

Much of the theoretical structure is new and original, and of particular importance is the identification of cognitive processes common to a wide variety of error types.

Using examples from the 2008 credit crisis, natural disasters, outsourcing to China, engineering disasters, and more.
