Opis

Post Normal Accident revisits the classic of Perrow’s work and provides additional insights to our sociological view and challenges of safety critical organisations. The operating landscape of high-risk systems has indeed profoundly changed in the past 20 to 30 years but the core sociological models of safety remain associated with classics.
