Newest Postings:

• In a first for this web site, I am recommending that anyone engaged in investigation process research read a recent book by Sidney Dekker "10 Questions about Human Error" (ISBN 0 8058 4744 8 2005) to help you better understand the challenges facing investigators trying to get valid new human factors knowledge from investigations. If you view investigations as a form of research project, as I view them, the Chapter discussing predictive challenges of human error research will be of keen interest. Feb 08
