Ten Questions About Human Error asks the type of questions
frequently posed in incident and accident investigations, people's
own practice, managerial and organizational settings, policymaking,
classrooms, Crew Resource Management Training, and error research.
It is one installment in a larger transformation that has begun to
identify both deep-rooted constraints and new leverage points of
views of human factors and system safety. The ten questions about
human error are not just questions about human error as a
phenomenon, but also about human factors and system safety as
disciplines, and where they stand today. In asking these questions
and sketching the answers to them, this book attempts to show where
current thinking is limited--where vocabulary, models, ideas, and
notions are constraining progress.

This volume looks critically at the answers human factors would
typically provide and compares/contrasts them with current
research insights. Each chapter provides directions for new ideas
and models that could perhaps better cope with the complexity of
the problems facing human error today. As such, this book can be
used as a supplement for a variety of human factors courses.
