<li>"Many accident investigations make the same mistake in defining causes. |
97 |
|
They identify the widget that broke or malfunctioned, then locate the person most closely connected with the |
98 |
|
technical failure: the engineer who miscalculated an analysis, the operator who missed signals or pulled |
99 |
|
the wrong switches, the supervisor who failed to listen, or the manager who made bad decisions |
100 |
|
When causal chains are limited to technical flaws and individual failures, the |
101 |
|
ensuing responses aimed at preventing a similar event in the future are equally limited: |
102 |
|
they aim to fix the technical problem and replace or retrain the individual responsible. |
103 |
|
Such corrections lead to a misguided and potentially disastrous belief that the underlying |
104 |
|
probem has been solved."--This appeared in a CRM book by Earl L. Wiener, Barbara G. Kanki, Robert L. Helmreich |

<li>"Indeed, it would not be going too far to say that, if a pilot in command were to create an |
108 |
|
atmosphere whereby one of his crew members would be hesitant to comment on any action then he would be failing |
109 |
|
in his duty as pilot in command."--This appeared in a CRM book by Earl L. Wiener, Barbara G. Kanki, Robert L. Helmreich |
