Effective recommendations in loosely coupled accident investigations
Pages 11 - 18
Abstract
Motivation -- In many accident investigations, the investigating agency does not directly effect changes in the system investigated, and does not dictate the changes to make. Instead, the recipients of recommendations implements changes as they see fit. In such systems, acceptance of the recommendations by the target organization is vital. In this paper we describe how investigators in the Swedish Accident Investigation Board characterize effective and acceptable recommendations.
Research approach -- Interviews were conducted with seven accident investigators at the Swedish Accident Investigation Board.
Findings/Design -- Three of the investigators adapt their recommendations to the safety maturity, as they view it, of the recipient organization. Five of them emphasized the need for communication with the recipient organization, during the course of the investigation, or at the end, to facilitate understanding. All of them considered the cost / benefit of their recommendations.
Originality/Value -- This research fills an important gap regarding our knowledge about the step from analysis to recommendations in accident investigations.
Take away message -- Safety maturity, communication with recipient organizations, and cost / benefit are important values to consider when issuing recommendations in loosely coupled accident investigation systems.
